One of these is the Colectivo Casco Urbano de Cayey (CCUC), a community organization comprised of local activists and community leaders, undergraduate students, and a professor. This essay brings together four members of the collective in a dialogue where they reflect on the central role of solidarity in the CCUC’s organizing and projects and the ways solidarity operates as a praxis of self-determination in the face of neoliberal austerity measures in Puerto Rico. We also highlight the relational work that was done prior to establishing the CCUC that enabled its creation. We also discuss how we negotiate our collaborative relationship across difference through critical dialogue and reflection, the challenges that arise because of our colonial subjectivities, and the ways we circumvent colonial logics through other ways of being and relating anchored in solidarity and interdependence.","PeriodicalId":47299,"journal":{"name":"Curriculum Inquiry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49569595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article explores specific moments of solidarity with BZU and beyond. I map out a genealogy of three modes of solidarity with Palestine analyzed in light of the political thought and praxis of Amilcar Cabral, Albert Camus, and Hannah Arendt. BZU has been an important and contested site for individual, collective, and universal solidarity initiatives, as gestures of solidarity have been made since 1974 and have continued since then, including the establishment of the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel in 2004. In this article, I trace the shifting apathy, empathy, and sympathy expressed with the Palestinian struggle and BZU with a particular emphasis on initiatives by Jewish and Israeli intellectuals. Although this article is neither a chronology nor a moral taxonomy, it aims to produce an indigenous, de-orientalized, and de-colonized account of the meanings of solidarity with Palestine.","PeriodicalId":47299,"journal":{"name":"Curriculum Inquiry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45707180","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We argue that Lotus constituted “infrastructures of dissent” and “infrastructures of solidarity” which were constructed between different anti-colonial movements. Though Lotus was widely circulated through different geographies, debated and discussed, there remains very little scholarly attention around its origins, impact, and the forms of solidarity it aspired to engender. There have been a number of studies on the “Bandung Spirit” and the “Tricontinental” conferences, yet there is generally less attention to the networks of artists, authors, exhibits, and magazines that discussed and debated forging insurgent solidarities under difficult circumstances. The article thus explores how cultural production was used by Afro-Asian artists to enact “creative solidarity” and the ways Lotus provided a means for cultural producers to share knowledge, theorize, and build relations across anti-colonial struggles, albeit in a space not outside the political dynamics and contradictions of the moment. We also conceptualize Lotus as an anti-colonial archive and suggest that such archives can be used pedagogically in efforts to decolonize curriculum, through a histories from below approach, to remember those occluded from history.","PeriodicalId":47299,"journal":{"name":"Curriculum Inquiry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43199881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We construct a narrative in two registers—one justified left, one justified right—that traces our activism within and beyond the university and how our own solidarity has grown over time and informs our current research collaboration.

On the other, we discuss how we have designed and are conducting our research. This polyvocal narration—collaborative, shifting between genres—enacts a radical Black feminist praxis, which informs both our decade-long collaboration and also the principles of the research project we have developed to examine Black student activism and coalition building.

Part of this praxis is exemplified in our co-femtoring other colleagues, faculty, and graduate students of Color and co-teaching/co-creating digital testimonios in the classroom.

An intense crackdown in Kashmir, including a complete communication blackout and internet blockade, meant the only Kashmiri and dissenting voices left were located in diasporic spaces. As two Kashmiri scholar–activists involved in advocacy work on Kashmir, we examine the challenges of decolonial activism and transnational solidarity building, especially in Western academic spaces. For both of us, Kashmir has been a home and is a place where our scholarly ethos is entwined with intimate knowledge. While the diasporic/exilic location presents its own challenges of representation, the urgency imposed by the settler colonial logics that create existential questions for Kashmiris forces reconsiderations both of political alliance building as well as scholarly frameworks. In this article, we explore the emergent contours of a pedagogy of solidarity that centers Indigenous perspectives in relation to Kashmiri diasporic activism. We examine how our solidarity work takes shape in the neoliberal academy, grassroots progressive spaces, and transnational media.","PeriodicalId":47299,"journal":{"name":"Curriculum Inquiry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49048480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In developing this educational framework, both of us draw upon and embody a “curriculum of solidarity” that is inherent in the Ambedkarite perspective, which we both espouse. This article is comprised of four sections. The first expresses our socio-historical location as co-authors of the text. The second explains the context of solidarity between Dalits and Tribes. The third historicizes the Dalit curriculum from an Ambedkarite perspective and the fourth constitutes a dialogical reflection on the same from a Tribal perspective.","PeriodicalId":47299,"journal":{"name":"Curriculum Inquiry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47152486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kendall’s words, alongside those of Monture-Angus, highlight the unique experiences that inspire many Black and Indigenous women on their journeys’ to university. Our work seeks to identify the tensions of “hood-in-g the ivory tower” in several ways. First, we weave in personal narrative to offer a reflection of what it means to engage in academic spaces from the hood. In this way, we explain what it means to literally bring the hood into the ivory tower. Second, we document the genealogies of feminist writings that shape our work. Third, by drawing on the sentiments of the “Hooding Ceremony” we present lessons to assert what it means to support our Lively-Hood within academic spaces.

As a contour of whiteness, carcerality normalizes ways of being that are consistent with rationality and reason privileging mind over body; intellectual over experiential ways of knowing; and mental abstractions over passions, bodily sensations, and tactile understandings. Employing poetics, reflexivity, and Black letters, Black feminist narrative methods steer these analyses to explore how whiteness, as carcerality, is germane to Black being in a western, United States context. To pursue this inquiry, I juxtapose storytelling analysis with a Black feminist literary analysis of Toni Cade Bambara’s \"The Education of the Storyteller,” asking, how might educators name, critique, and pedagogically extract whiteness (carcerality) and its pervasive curriculum from the bodies of Black subjects by keying into histories of Blackness, rationality, and the body? Ultimately, I am interested in what the historical and racialized politics of the body demand with regard to pedagogy. Three themes emerged as considerations for a pedagogy of the flesh: epistemic confrontation, corporeal visibility, and legitimizing affect. Findings advance scholarship on how educators might engage Black students in ways that honour the full Black body-mind as a living, moving entity deserving of humanity, in a western, United States context that expects Black stillness.","PeriodicalId":47299,"journal":{"name":"Curriculum Inquiry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47112732","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
