Inclusive Citation: How Diverse Are Your References? – ProfHacker - Blogs - The Chronicle of Higher Education | Education 2.0 & 3.0 | Scoop.it
Look at the reference list for your latest few articles or presentations. How many of the people you are citing are people like you, how many people different from you? How many are dominant (white, male, straight, you name it) and how many are marginal in some way? If you’re active there, look at your recent Twitter interactions, how diverse are those? Now look at your blogroll, the authors you follow regularly (if you don’t read blogs). How diverse are they? Why does this matter?
