Ghosting the system with Dr Sandy Grande

Shit is complicated. In November 2018 Dr. Grande gave a keynote on the academy and the struggles that Black and Indigenous academics face in this space and she made a remark, what if we ghosted the system? What if? What if we just left? What if we spent our time now building relationships and communities of relationships, alternatives and then just left? Because if we are going to resist, if we're going to try and save anything. We need to be a people worth saving. resources: Mohawk Interruptus – by Audra Simpson How We Get Free: Black Feminism and the Combahee River Collective- edited by Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor Standing Rock Syllabus, editing with assistance from Dr. Grande. https://nycstandswithstandingrock.wordpress.com/standingrocksyllabus/ And don't forget, shit is complicated.
