Hmm, see I think that makes sense as an idea in and of itself, in theory. But I just have this mental image of some non-nerd coming and talking about sff books they don't 100% understand the context for to a crowd of people who aren't used to thinking about cultural appropriation and it all being..bad.

Given that there is very little dialogue of any sort about cultural appropriation at Swancon, to me it makes more sense to start with stuff we can get people inside fandom to talk about. I mean part of the point of my post was that we need to give more voice to the diverse POVs within fandom, and this would, imo, be a good place to start.
