RE: Sponsored Panel & Standing Group meeting

I think that this is a great fit for the theme this year; I think in our description we should frame this in both components if possible – “promise” and “peril” of cultural ownership in higher education. Ownership of IP tied to minority communities on campus and in the broader community is an excellent entrypoint to discuss and debate what we mean by ownership and what such concepts entail in pedagogy and policy.

I have little to contribute to that as a panel, and it sounds like we have a great proposed moderator solution, so I’ll step back and let others run that and continue massaging the SG proposal.

New version of the SG is here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/16rlwmlXkBRntdkG2m0yRzlGeYPTzF-4bR4_AaZ_fsqE/edit?usp=sharing

Let me know if you have access issues! Kim, I will put your updates in.

I’d be available to discuss cultural appropriation as well. I contributed a piece to a previous IP Annual on that subject, which led to an invite this past February to the symposium “Reclaiming What’s Ours: Exploring the Realms of Intellectual Property Protections for Black Creators” sponsored by the William and Mary Black Law Student Association. (I was there as the devil’s advocate, I think.)  

Best,

Kim

Will Clancy be moderating the Sponsored Panel?

I don’t think moderating would prevent you from presenting as well. It’s just that the proposal form has always asked for the name of the chair, plus it’s always good to have somebody who can shepherd the cats.

If you commit to moderating the sponsored panel, I’ll commit to preparing the proposal!

We need more participants, STAT. So far Clancy and I are on board.

Hi all,

In thinking about the promise and peril of cultural ownership, I’ve been thinking about recent casting controversies over Netflix TV shows, specifically Shadow and Bone and Sandman, in which series, with the original author deeply involved, are castigated by fans for casting non-white actors in certain roles. I’ve written, in what feels like the distant past, about fandom as a kind of cultural ownership of corporately-owned texts, which seems to be playing out in some of these controversies, often in racist ways. Does that seem like it has a place in this panel?

That issue seems consistent with Alex’s thumbnail.

I'd like to present, but I'm cool with moderating, if that's what y'all want. I have been thinking about describing a couple of individual cases of cultural appropriation using the ideas in this book, The Color of Creatorship: Intellectual Property, Race, and the Making of Americans.
