Thursday, May 9, 2024 5:00pm-7:00pm| Resource Center for Nonviolence
Capitalism requires inequality, as Black radical scholar, researcher, and organizer Ruth Wilson Gilmore states, and racism enshrines it. In a workshop on the critical work of community archives and oral histories in ethnic studies education, we will ask how peoples subjected to dispossession, forced mobility, criminalization, labor exploitation, family separation, and premature death have struggled against the laws, systems, and structures designed to keep them down. How are the ephemera of their lives and their organizing materialized, if at all, in state or municipal archives? By contrast, what principles should animate documentary practices around and pedagogical approaches to people’s movements for liberation, resources, and justice?
