Hope you're ready to meet the scholar(s) of your dreams. Our site, “Tindorhick,” hooks you up with a variety of ways to (re)consider rhetoric and composition scholarship—the scholarship you use in your work and the chairs, presidents, and editors (matchmakers, really) guiding where the field is and is heading. You might wonder, who are these people? You know, what do they look like? What are their interests? Are they good people? Are they jerks? Would I wanna be textually active with them? Are they cite-worthy? Is academic integrity really enough to go on?
In more and other words, Tindorhick helps you see who you are citing; think carefully about how (de)colonizing your experiences are with text; and reconsider whether or not matchmakers are speaking an equitable “language of love,” providing scholarship that needs to be cited and, well, scholars who should be cited. For us, no matter how “great” an idea a scholar has, if the scholar is nefarious or wicked or just a terrible human being, we don’t want that idea; we don't wanna give that scholar attention.
The dating metaphor we use is kinda practical; We mean experiencing a text is dating a text: getting to know one another, deciding if you wanna make it work, and making it official (putting it in writing). And, of course, during a time crunch, when an MS is due, using a scholar can be kind of a Netflix and chill relationship.
At any rate, we hope and think Tindorhick complicates your textual activities and unsettles the ethics and moralities of your scholarship. We think it’s worth considering thatthere might be a balance to strike when considering bias in citation, your own textual activity, and who is worth going on a cite with. So go beyond citation flirtation. Keep an eye or two on how “It’s not you. It’s me.” and “It’s you. It’s not me.” and try courting a little more, try practicing safe text.
