A conference for women historians has apologized and condemned “the racist, homophobic, and Islamophobic comments” made by a senior scholar in alast week that roiled the academics in attendance, leading many to walk out of the event in disgust.
Banner, who was named in the statement, doubled down after saying that she didn’t feel as though her whiteness had benefited her in her career, aAs discomfort and revulsion swept through the room, Banner insisted that she was in her eighties and that her mind would not be changed, according to Paul Renfro, a professor at Florida State University. “Which is interesting, coming from a scholar who should be curious,” he commented.
“As we wrestle with Banner’s comments and our own inaction, we must note that her remarks constitute only the latest incident for our members, officers, and colleagues of color; many report one-on-one microaggressions and racist encounters at this conference and prior events,” the organization said.
