Harlem School of the Arts

Organized on the occasion of the centennial of the decolonial thinker Frantz Fanon, Freedom and Insurgence brings together Dylan Rodríguez and Ezekiel Dixon-Román for a conversation about capacious and generative approaches to mass intellectuality. The speakers approach the global legacies of Fanon’s thought on ‘archives of the possible,’ which illuminate approaches to the problem of democratic education and the crisis of the university in our times. The event features:A talk by Dylan Rodríguez (Distinguished Professor in the Department of Media and Cultural Studies and the Department of Black Study at UC Riverside and winner of the 2022 Frantz Fanon Award for Outstanding Book in Caribbean Thought).A response by Ezekiel Dixon-Román (Professor of Critical Race, Media, and Educational Studies at Teachers College, Columbia University).A Q&amp;A with the audience. Freedom and Insurgence launches a new faculty working group on the university and/in crisis directed by C. Riley Snorton (Columbia) and Anupama Rao (Barnard), and spearheaded by the Center for the Study of Social Difference, the Barnard Center for Research on Women, and the Edmund Gordon Institute for Advanced Study. Focused on four conceptual figures and sites, “the archive,” “the experiment,” “the student,” and “the lexicon,” the group engages with critical university studies scholarship to think through education’s entanglements with wider inequitable structures and forces. This event is free and open to the public. Registration is required.
