Citation is critical not only to avoid plagiarism but also to challenge and undo the often unquestioned authority of dominant knowledge production systems that label certain work as legitimate and others as not. Our understanding of citation politics is indebted to Sara Ahmed’s work Living a Feminist Life (2017) in which they discuss citation as “feminist memory”: 

“citation is how we acknowledge our debt to those who came before; those who helped us find our way when the way was obscured because we deviated from the paths we were told to follow” (pp.15-16).

Following Ahmed, we encourage our community to engage with our readings with an intention of reorienting our narrative.
