Research Lecture with Andrea Baldwin
Lecture/Readings
In her 2022 book, A Decolonial Black Feminist Theory of Reading and Shade: Feeling the University, Andrea Baldwin uses Black and decolonial feminist theorizing along with a queer of color critique to examine the university as an affective space. This space often causes marginalized and minoritized individuals to feel out of place and out of time. Baldwin developed the concept of “Shad(e)y theoretics” to encapsulate this idea.In this presentation, Baldwin builds on her theorizing to offer insights into the current moment in US politics. She explores the seemingly easy cooptation and, in some cases, cooperation of university administration in erasing marginalized and minoritized communities and their scholarship. While this erasure is not unexpected from a decolonial perspective, it remains deeply painful. Using indigenous feminist and Black feminist ecological thought, Baldwin provides thoughts on how to navigate the current epistemic and affective violence experienced by Black, brown, indigenous, and queer scholars in the US academy.
