Happy Juneteenth! There is a lot of learning and unlearning still to be done. For #highered that includes re-examining the #liberalarts disciplines we teach and that organize our knowledge. Check out Hortense Spillers’ brilliant lecture, personal and provocative. Not to be missed
We created a bonus episode of our #AntiRacism & the Disciplines #podcast for #Juneteenth, featuring the remarkable final symposium keynote address by Hortense Spillers, #BlackStudies #feminist icon and @VanderbiltU prof. Listen at https://t.co/shuKItXTce with Dean @briantedwards.
