Join the PublicsLab and Transformative Learning in the Humanities (TLH) for a conversation with Professor Lorgia García Peña, Mellon Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Studies in Race, Colonialism, and Diaspora at Tufts University, on her groundbreaking new book, Community as Rebellion: A syllabus for surviving academia as a woman of color (2022, Haymarket Press). In conversation with PublicsLab Faculty Lead and Associate Professor of Anthropology Professor Bianca Williams, Professor García Peña will offer practices for creating liberatory spaces within institutions that are historically and perhaps inherently violent, colonialist, exclusionary, and inequitable. The conversation will consider how we –– as teachers, activists, and scholars –– can resist the academy’s extractive and exploitative practices, and how we might transform existing institutional spaces in ways that create more liberation and cultivate community for students and faculty of color.
Accessibility: ASL and CART will be provided.
