Co-teaching the Colonizations sequence next quarter! Excited to expose students to the political theorists who changed my life when I was their age. We're reading Fanon, Wynter, Césaire, and so many more!

“I don’t owe anybody anything!” Actually we are perhaps nothing but dizzyingly intricate webs of obligations to other beings and ourselves. The sheer weight of our obligations is all that keeps us from floating away into space. We can never do enough but we must try.

After re-reading the congratulations email upward of 10 times, I can fully confirm that I have been admitted to Yale University for my PhD. Wow. My family is ecstatic. I’m the first in my family to pursue a graduate level degree.

or, perhaps, you could study the racial stigmatization of black reproductive capacities, and not replicate anti-black Moynihan theories of black women and girls?
Ngl it’s a study that need to be done how so many black girls have been pre-configured to be Baby Mommas.

A thread on birthright citizenship I wrote in 2018, that unfortunately remains relevant.
Where we are headed: Abolishing birthright citizenship for the non-white and non-rich. And why I teach on United States v. Wong Kim Ark every semester.
Who was Wong Kim Ark? 1/
