Join for a collective reading and discussion of Robin D. G. Kelley’s Black Study, Black Struggle. Written in 2016, we return to this text, its questions and provocations:
- Can universities ever be engines of social transformation? Or is such work the preserve of political education and activism?
- What is the point of fighting for equal opportunities in a burning house, on a burning planet?
- How do we confront competition in the neoliberal classroom?
- How do we resist depoliticisation masquerading as tolerance, diversity and inclusion?
- and fundamentally: How can we be in the university but not of the university?
