  • From the Antebellum Period to the Black Lives Matter Movement 21:512: 391 Fall 2016 Instructor: Dr
    Black Thought and the Long Fight for Freedom: From the Antebellum Period to the Black Lives Matter Movement 21:512: 391 Fall 2016 Instructor: Dr. M. Cooper Email: [email protected] Mondays & Wednesdays: 10:00 AM-11:20 AM Room: 348 Conklin Hall Office Hours: Mondays 1:20 PM-2:20 PM; Wednesdays 2:20 PM-3:20 PM, 353 Conklin Hall Course Description This undergraduate seminar examines a diverse group of black intellectuals' formulations of ideologies and theories relative to racial, economic and gender oppression within the context of dominant intellectual trends. The intellectuals featured in the course each contributed to the evolution of black political thought, and posited social criticisms designed to undermine racial and gender oppression, and labor exploitation around the world. This group of black intellectuals' work will be analyzed paying close attention to the way that each intellectual inverts dominant intellectual trends, and/or uses emerging social scientific disciplines, and/or technologies to counter racism, sexism, and classism. This seminar is designed to facilitate an understanding of the black intellectual tradition that has emerged as a result of African American thinkers’ attempts to develop a response to, and understanding of, the black condition. This course explores of a wide range of primary and secondary sources from several different periods, offering students opportunity to explore the lives and works some of the most important black intellectuals. We will also consider the way that period-specific intellectual phenomenon—such as Modernism, Marxism, Pan-Africanism and Feminism— combined with a host of social realities to shape and reshape black thought.

Harris, Email: [email protected] Office Hours: Mon, 1:30-2:30, Africana Studies, 3401 Walnut St., Suite 328-A (and appointment) TA: Zachary C. Mondesire, Email: [email protected] Spring ’14, TR 12:00-1:30P, Moore Building 212 This course is a survey of African American History from the dawn of the twentieth century to the early period of the twentieth-first century. The course will have considerable emphasis on the roles of politics and culture during the modern period of the long black freedom struggle. It will explore major themes in African American history beginning with: the emergence of black organizing, lynching, and the emergence of the NAACP during the height of white supremacy in the dawn of the twentieth century, the implications of World War I, migration, and Garveyism on Black Nationalism during the 1920s, the economic necessity and political realignment of blacks during the Great Depression and the barrier of racial inequality during the New Deal, the implications of World War II and contested concepts of democracy and freedom, African Americans and the dilemma of American democracy during the Cold War era, black religion and the fight for desegregation, the reemergence of Black Nationalism and the demand for racial reform during the post-WWII era, the retreat from the Second Reconstruction, the global implications of racial inequality, to the rise of Obama and the question of post-racialism. Class time will be devoted in most cases to some lectures but mostly discussions of the readings and films.

  • Composting Arcadia Stories from Pākehā Women “Of the Land” in Wairarapa, Aotearoa New Zealand by Rebecca L Ream
    Composting arcadia Stories from Pākehā women “of the land” in Wairarapa, Aotearoa New Zealand by Rebecca L Ream A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington (2020) Abstract I suggest that this thesis is a compost pile from Wairarapa that slowly turns over harmful but potentially fertile tales of arcadia. I narrate this thesis drawing on the fleshly stories of ten Pākehā (colonial settler) women “of the land’ and the ethico-onto-epistemology of Donna Haraway’s compost making. Composting is Haraway’s (2016) latest feminist call to trouble and queer the self-contained secular humanism of Western1 modernity. Uprooting the Western separation of ‘nature’ from culture, Haraway’s philosophy provides an earthly foundation in which to compost arcadia. Arcadia is an antique ‘nature’ myth that has been enmeshed in the process of Western world making from Classical Greece to the European ‘Age of Discovery’. Arcadia was used by the British to colonise Aotearoa New Zealand2 in the nineteenth century. As a Pākehā, I have been compelled to explore this myth because of the way it has seeped into transcendent understandings of land for descendants of colonial settlers like myself. Commonly known as a rural paradise, arcadia was a strategy for ‘normalising’ and ‘naturalising’ European occupancy in New Zealand (Evans, 2007; Fairburn, 1989). British arcadianism arrived on the shores of New Zealand, Victorian and romantic. Therefore, in this thesis I posit that through both settler and romantic ideals, Pākehā continue to use arcadianism to relate to land.
