For this final session, we will be looking at knowledge production within the university and academy as the sight of epistemicide/genocide.
In this week’s conversation we want to bring Sylvia Wynter’s arguments from the various articles and the other readings in combination with all our previous conversations, maps, mapping and law to talk about knowing, learning and unlearning in/from/of a white supremacist, anti-black world.
