"Otherness" at IMC in Leeds: An Open Letter

Professor and Chair, Art and Art History, California State Univeristy, Chico Thanks to Professor Thompson for writing this important statement. I stand with her, as does MEARCSTAPA, which has recently updated its mission statement to more actively engage with the state of the field, with the fight we are having over who has a right to participate in it: https://www.mearcstapa.org/mission-statement

I'm not a Shakespearean, just a concerned medievalist who hopes to see the IMC standing strongly on the right side of this issue.

I share the views expressed in the open letter and am deeply concerned about what happened at Leeds.
