Arlo Fosburg
CRJ Graduate Student Researcher
Arlo Fosburg is a PhD candidate in Feminist Studies and focuses on the histories and politics of the land-grant college system and agricultural education as tools of settler colonialism. Their work takes up the originary violences of the creation of the American system of public higher education—the theft of Indigenous land—in order to build a more comprehensive theorization of the role of the university in reproducing racial capitalism. Arlo is an instructor at College Unbound, a degree completion program in Providence, RI, where they teach courses on feminist theory, abolition, anarchist history, and disability studies.
