Pre-Civil War Universities’ Afterlife of Slavery
The call for many higher education institutions to atone for their histories of enslavement is rapidly growing. Prior reparations research, however, has primarily focused on reparations at the federal level. Utilizing QuantCrit with the afterlife of slavery and racialized organizations theory, a discrete-time hazard model, was developed to predict whether a higher education institution established prior to the Civil War engaged in university repa…

US Afro-Latin Americans (ALAs), individuals who identify as Hispanic-Black or are descendants of Africans who lived in Latin America or the Caribbean, represent upward of 6 million people, yet researchers and policymakers have struggled to capture the experiences of this community using existing data systems. We explain how Florida’s distinct historical context shapes current higher education enrollment by ALAs in the state. Utilizing the concept…
On the ‘demonic grounds’ of South African higher education
Amidst the global wave of decolonization movements, the #RhodesMustFall (#RMF) movement in South Africa has echoed globally, connecting struggles against racism and colonial legacies such as Black Lives Matter movement in the U.S. to Change the Date campaign in Australia. This study focuses on the experiences of Black women and queer activists within #RMF, examining their role in disrupting hegemonic patriarchy and addressing gender-based violenc…
A Post-Ferguson Spatial Analysis of Black Resistant and White Fortressing Geographies
This study explores the contrasting racialized geographies of St. Louis County and factors of local college accessibility by re-framing the concepts of college deserts and oases post the Ferguson uprising. Through a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) analysis of educational divides, capital accumulation, and policing, we found dual spatial landscapes: a geography of Whiteness and higher education capital accumulation in southern St. Louis and a…

A Calle decolonial hack
Rarely are Latinx and African-American spatial narratives read alongside each other, let alone as sites of pedagogy and learning. In the City of Philadelphia, we interpreted this racial grammar as spatial dimensions of our classroom learning through decolonial praxis. During the spring of 2020, a professor of education and 14 of her students explored three sites of resistance across Philadelphia: The MOVE Bombing site (1985), Girard College (raci…
Time-traveling through land and sea
In order to understand our present and future work in planting the seeds of solidarity, we excavate the past, through an exploration of transnational solidarity and the vestiges of U.S. legislative policy and philanthropy. Through life notes and sharing circles, we examine policies (Morrill Act of 1862, Refugee Act of 1980, and the Gates Millennium Scholars Program of 1999) that shaped our experiences as researchers, benefactors, and peoples of l…
Coming Back Home to Live and Not Die
The purpose of this study is to illustrate how in the span of three decades, a working-class Black gay male college student residing in a post-industrial city navigated college. Through a postcolonial geographic epistemology and theories of human geography, we explore his narrative, mapping the terrain of sexual, race and class dialects, which ultimately led to Marcus’s (pseudonym) completion of graduate school and community-based policy research…
Bus-Riding from Barrio to College
Educational access studies have found that residents’ choices and opportunities are often geographically bound and based on capital accumulation rather than educational attainment needs. Public transportation in the United States has a long history of being the primary source of mobility for urban residents, who are more likely than suburban residents to be low income and come from racial/ethnic historically marginalized backgrounds. Similar to p…
Ferguson's Black Radical Imagination and the Scyborgs of Community-Student Resistance
This qualitative geographic study explores how the Black Radical Imagination is present in Ferguson's community-student activism. Ferguson activists were not only fighting against the police state that had taken the life of 18-year old Michael Brown, they were fighting against urban forms of capital accumulation and repressive residential and campus climates. Community-student activists were also re-imagining a different type of society that exis…
Teaching a transnational ethic of Black Lives Matter
The material conditions of populations in the Global South are interconnected with the material conditions of Black working-class urban communities in the U.S. Through this multi-scalar construction, I put forward a theory of Calle – a transnational ethic of ethno-racial-spatial solidarity. Set within stages of dual geographies, my AfroCuban American cultural and familial history are paramount to understanding the landscapes that shaped my schola…
The struggle for ‘our streets
The Ferguson Movement of 2014 and 2015 reached national salience immediately following the murder of Michael Brown, after residents took to social media platforms to report from what many activists called ‘ground zero.’ Some popular and scholarly conversations have couched the movement largely through its online manifestations; this study, however, places the movement within the intersections of digital and physical space as well as the broader p…
