QualLab Lunch: Not Weeping, Sharpening my Oyster Knife: Demarginalizing Intellectual Activism

Featuring Dr. Venus Evans-Winters, The Ohio State University

In this discussion, Dr. Evans-Winters will discuss the current tensions in education and its effects on the emotionality and mental well-being of faculty who exist at the intersections of race, gender, and power. In particular, public discourse and organized attempts to marginalize racial and gender justice is a threat to educational research and discourse that may serve as a mediating factor to counter cultural imperialism. The presentation calls for meaningful engagement in intellectual activism as radical subjectivity and an ethic of care.
