This section of the site collects current workshop materials and ideas. My ultimate interest here involves mixing the history of the Black Campus Movement and the impact of #BlackLivesMatter/BLM as a movement today on colleges. We are witnessing and experiencing a fundamental shift in the who, what, and where of knowledge formation from the space and place of a mobile Black insurgency deeply rooted in traditions of Black rhetorics of protest and vernacular creativity. Using stories from my own college classrooms, I argue for the ongoing critical presence of race-radical Black students, staff, and faculty in the (re)making of American higher education.
