Description

"seeks to remedy a ubiquitous problem we see in anti-racist activism in the academy and academy-adjacent spaces: disempowerment. This is the tendency to embrace victimhood and label opposing or even altered views as violent and inherently racist. We believe that an anecdote about the experience one of us had when engaging anti-racist academics is indicative of this disempowerment within circles of anti-racist activism. Therefore, we use that experience as a springboard into describing, explaining, and remedying the aforementioned fragility."
