Description
Anti-racist scholar-activism raises urgent questions about the role of contemporary universities and the academics that work within them. This book focuses on the praxes of academics working within, and against, their institutions in pursuit of anti-racist social justice. Drawing upon original empirical data, it considers how anti-racist scholar-activists navigate barriers and backlash to leverage the opportunities and resources of the university in service to communities of resistance. The book shows that praxes of anti-racist scholar-activism are complex, diverse, and multi-faceted, and highlights how scholars grapple with their own complicities in the harms perpetrated by Higher Education institutions.
