I've just completed reviewing my @ncte proposals for the 2021 convention and have noticed a few things:

1. Citations. If you're citing the work of BIPOC educators, scholars, etc., you have to cite them. Seriously. Erasure is not a good look. Period. #citeasista
3. Or, if they did read the proposal, there was a ridiculous amount of gymnastics attempted to make it seem that all of a sudden the person is an antiracist, justice educator. If you don't believe in ABAR work, dropping a sentence or two into your proposal won't make it true.
2. Folks aren't reading the call for proposals and thinking about how their work actually aligns with it. Dr. @ValerieKinloch wrote a thoughtful CFP as a guide. Far too many of these proposals didn't pay any attention.
I'm hoping that folks really take the time to think about how presentations make a conference and what kind of conference we need at this moment. AND we need more BIPOC reviewers. For everything.
