just sayin' if U write abt social movement U should probably skip academic jargon. If participants can't understand what/who is analysis 4?
@ProfessMoravec@kwamezulushabaz I support taming the “jargon beast” but if jargon gets u published in academic venues—do what u gotta’ do!
@DrMikeJennings@ProfessMoravec african american scholarship has historically been more public and activist +
@DrMikeJennings@ProfessMoravec du bois was impeccable scholar but jargon free. the scholarly horizon looks more open and public +
@DrMikeJennings@ProfessMoravec the jargon will, hopefully, die a natural death.@kwamezulushabaz@ProfessMoravec I agree wholeheartedly with all your points!@kwamezulushabaz@ProfessMoravec However most academics seeking tenure must publish in “certain” types of venues or they will be gone quick.@DrMikeJennings@kwamezulushabaz sorry but I do believe it is possible to succeed in academia without jargon@ProfessMoravec@kwamezulushabaz This depends a lot on how u define “success” and “jargon” and also what type of context you are working in@DrMikeJennings@kwamezulushabaz as w/ everything! me I define success as precise elegant prose, others differ, see also discipline matters@ProfessMoravec@kwamezulushabaz This is a great dialogue! We should ask others what they think about jargon and “success” in academia.@DrMikeJennings@kwamezulushabaz yes would love to know what others think.
