Forum #2: ROLL CALL! We want to hear from grad students who've moved beyond white proprietary processes of graduate school where they are positioned merely as new settlers in academic logics that mimic their program's existing theories and faculties. Submit by April 15, 2021.
Graphic header: Forum #2 Roll Call! Graduate students, activism, and the "Third University" We want to hear from graduate students who have moved beyond the white proprietary processes of graduate school where they are positioned merely as new settlers in academic logics that mimic their program’s existing theories and faculties. We are looking for work that especially illuminates positionality as we do not all face the same risks with our activism and organizing. How do you define activism? In/for the field? As a graduate student? How do you define community organizing? Submit your work by April 15, 2021 The RPC logo is placed in the lower right corner of the graphic.

Happy heavenly birthday to Pauli Murray, born on this day in 1910. From Murray's Black Theology and Feminist Theology: "These glimpses of the 'new creation' and the 'new human being' provide the hope which is the wellspring of any meaningful theology of liberation in our time."

"Therefore bios and mythoi. And notice! One major implication here: humanness is no longer a noun. Being human is a praxis." Professor Sylvia Wynter (2015) in conversation with Professor Katherine McKittrick (@demonicground)

"[Q]ueerness is not yet here but it approaches like a crashing wave... And we must give in to its propulsion, its status as a destination. Willingly we let ourselves feel queerness's pull, knowing it as something else that we can feel, that we must feel." José Muñoz
