00:27:53 Faye V Harrison: Hi everyone. I'm sharing a link to the University of Bristol's Dept of Anthropology & Archaeology, which has also posted a statement in solidarity with the Movement for Black Lives and its expressions in the USA, the UK and elsewhere. Here it is: http://www.bristol.ac.uk/archanth/blm-/ 01:06:01 Elise Kramer: I am revealing my ignorance here, but what does “abolitionist” mean in this context? 01:09:52 Paul Michael Atienza: Might be an interesting read: https://www.historiansagainstslavery.org/main/2014/11/five-ways-abolitionists-changed-american-higher-education/ 01:12:30 Jane Desmond: thanks Faye— great overview and invitation— must leave for another web event I am on. 01:14:42 Jessica R Greenberg: Faye, could you talk about writing, the writing process and collaboration in this process- and where we can build in pedagogical tools and spaces for decolonizing at the level of writing. 01:16:54 Paul Michael Atienza: Thank you for this question, Jessica. There’s an assumption that graduate students know how or will just pick things up. A larger question is how may we build-in this training from year one. 01:23:38 Virginia Dominguez: Thank you, Faye, but would you please also explain why the idea that race is constructed is not enough? I think most anthropologists teach that race is socially constructed and hey have done this for years, but it seems to have little or no effect on our society or even our discipline. 01:25:12 Korinta Maldonado: Thank you Faye! it is always a treat to hear you! I have a meeting at 4. 01:29:43 Maritza Quinones-Rivera: Dear Faye, Thank you! Zoom meet at 4. 01:32:47 Alana Ackerman: I am curious about decolonizing the university in terms of transferring resources to colonized people. What might this look like within the UIUC anthropology department? (This is a question for Faye and for everyone.) 01:41:52 Jessica R Greenberg: Thanks all, thank you Faye- have to sign off for childcare. Looking forward to getting into the details, conversations, and collaborations for how we implement these ideas. 01:44:34 Brenda Farnell: Typically, at PWI, courses with race/racism/Black in their titles will attract primarily underrepresented students and a few allies. While this provides a crucial ‘safe’ intellectual space for these students, it does not address the systemic institutional racism that prevails outside of such classrooms. To reach the majority of students requires “unminoritized” instructors to address these issues sytematically, not leave this work to minoritized faculty. Would you comment on this ? 01:48:12 Alana Ackerman: (Can I clarify? I was referring to specifically within the department.) 01:58:59 Ripan S Malhi: need to run. Thank you Faye! 02:01:43 Paul Michael Atienza: I’m sorry for chiming in so much, but with Dr. Farnell’s question. I wanted to add that teaching about race and racism is difficult indeed. I would say that anyone should not be afraid of the topic, do the work to understand the complexities, be open to learning when you make mistakes, to listen and hear to students who may have expert knowledge, and to teach/learn in process. 02:03:09 Jenny Davis (she/her): I have to run to another meeting. Thanks so much Faye! 02:03:46 Krystal Smalls: ^^^ yes, and it need not be isolated to courses about race - relevant any study of humans 02:04:42 Jessica Brinkworth: relevant to NSF panels. There is reflexive way that human studies are reviewed - that there needs to be race simply as genetic ancestry considered . 02:04:45 Susan Frankenberg: Thank you, Faye. Have to go. Susan 02:05:44 Krystal Smalls: ^^ interesting, JB 02:06:14 Jessica Brinkworth: I am writing a grant on sepsis as embodiment of race and it’s incredibly thorny 02:06:37 Jessica Brinkworth: to get around what the panel will want, and what is biological reality 02:07:00 Krystal Smalls: ^^ DMing you, JB 02:07:03 Jessica Brinkworth: thanks 02:07:11 Elise Kramer: Thank you Faye and everyone, this has been very informative! I’m having an allergy attack so I’m going to go deal with that 02:07:15 Jessica Brinkworth: for the heads up :) 02:07:23 Brandon Ritchison: I assign a Gravlee paper in 101 and students have expressed its one of their favorite assignments. 02:07:44 Virginia Dominguez: Great, Brandon! 02:07:47 Paul Michael Atienza: Agreed @Krystal … not just courses about race … human social differences are contentcious 02:26:15 Jeffrey T Martin: Thank you, Faye 02:26:19 Brandon Ritchison: Thanks, Faye. 02:26:33 Chibundo Anwuli Egwuatu: Where do you want us to send those emails? 02:26:54 Jessica Brinkworth: Thanks Faye, V and all 02:27:04 Jessica Brinkworth: bye!!! 02:27:04 Nicole Cox: Thank you!
