In the case of SPT and its administration from 2018 to 2022, graduate students, particularly those with academic service and governance experience, were considered adversaries rather than colleagues to senior faculty members because of their main goal: to successfully implement the institutionalization of the Black Studies, Theories of Race and Racism stream. Examining the conflicts that arose during this time reveals the importance of vigilance around the consolidation of Black studies in ostensibly progressive programs, and illuminates how the figuration of problem students provides a compelling alibi for the demoralizing and alienating social conditions in academia.","PeriodicalId":43438,"journal":{"name":"Topia-Canadian Journal of Cultural Studies","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135933551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The author demonstrates how these administerial tactics, mutually dependent on anti-Black quotidian violence and the ongoing denial of its quintessence to the organizing logic of the university, also work to rescue academic whiteness from threats to its ascendancy, remaking it as the progressive agent of change in the neoliberal era of equity, diversity and inclusion.","PeriodicalId":43438,"journal":{"name":"Topia-Canadian Journal of Cultural Studies","volume":"37 9","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135316318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

That insight is also at the heart of two renewed and burgeoning intellectual traditions: social reproduction theory (SRT) and abolition feminism. This article reads two powerful analyses of racial capitalism, Golden Gulag by Ruth Wilson Gilmore (2007) and Reckoning with Slavery by Jennifer Morgan (2021) , through an SRT lens. It stresses that these books document, on the one hand, the modern and colonial states’ organization of Black peoples’ life-making labours and, on the other hand, forms of resistance involving Black women’s individual and collective control over the conditions of social reproduction. In centring social reproduction in the analysis of the integral relation between class and race, and in strategizing resistance to capitalism, these accounts help to refine and concretize social reproduction feminist thinking about the state, alienation, and anti-oppression, anti-capitalist politics.","PeriodicalId":43438,"journal":{"name":"Topia-Canadian Journal of Cultural Studies","volume":"32 9","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135366873","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper challenges this relationship as revolutionary by stating, relationships of theft already exist in the university as seen amongst cheaters, an embodiment that is always already deemed criminal in the university.This article examines theft as it takes place in the politics of plagiarism, and cheating as two case studies that demonstrate that theft itself requires the facilitation of anti-Black property logics. In the examination of both moments, plagiarism and cheating, it is evident that the university subject’s relationship to property and ownership dictates which university subjects can steal and indeed force “mobility, and security” for themselves and their communities, and which university subjects and communities are perpetually stolen from, never fully having ownership over property. Assigning theft as a task only expands the role of the scholar, and by extension the university, both of which only exist to “violently extract” ( Kim, 2017 ) the knowledge and resources that is to be stolen.","PeriodicalId":43438,"journal":{"name":"Topia-Canadian Journal of Cultural Studies","volume":"30 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135413126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In 2022, these messages included “Moving Toward Equity,” “Putting a Feminist Lens on Economic Recovery,” and “Obstacles are Motivations to Push Forward.” I remember seeing these banners and asking myself, “What happens when the university becomes the obstacle?” In this article, the author wants readers to think seriously about the university as an obstacle and what that means when thinking about another university now. One of these banners, Obstacles are Motivations to Push Forward, represents the university as a teleological space for forward movement. Like all other banners it is accompanied by the slogan Defy Gravity, part of the university’s fundraising campaign, that cites “the climate crisis,” “economic and social inequalities,” “systemic racism,” “injustices against Indigenous peoples,” and the COVID-19 pandemic, as reasons to “ rise and move forward together.” But what does it mean to move forward when the structures you are pushing against are built on neoliberal logics, corporatized institutional structures, and settler-colonial violence? If the university is a problem space that we inhabit, how can we ask a different set of questions with which to imagine another university? If the colonial-capitalist roots of the Canadian university foreclose other futures, is change even possible? Can the university be a locus for change if it is simultaneously an obstacle to change?","PeriodicalId":43438,"journal":{"name":"Topia-Canadian Journal of Cultural Studies","volume":"11 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135366993","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

She contributed to building a Palestine Solidarity movement in the Canadian state around the call from Palestinian civil society organizations for a campaign of boycott, divestment, and sanctions of Israeli institutions. Her activist practice modelled a politics of solidarity from below that was strategic, learning-oriented, creative and deeply transformative. Solidarity from below requires a delicate balance between recognizing the leadership of those who are struggling for their own freedom and taking responsibility from one’s own position to work together to undo systems of oppression. This mode of activism is built on an open-ended commitment to learning from others, recognizing that they bring experiences and organizing repertoires that are fundamental to effective transformation. As people mobilize, they develop capacities for collectivity powered by strategic victories, an increasing knowledge base, and the shared experience of playful creativity. This deliberate development of capacities from below is a fundamental feature of the project of social transformation.","PeriodicalId":43438,"journal":{"name":"Topia-Canadian Journal of Cultural Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135366983","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
