Caught Caring: (Un)freedom and the Costs of Service Labor in the University

Caught Caring: (Un)freedom and the Costs of Service Labor in the University

Description

Black people’s care for one another in universities can be life-giving, yet the conditions in which Black people perform this labor can be coercive and detrimental to those who care. This talk interrogates the costs that Black people face for caring in the university and imagines freedom from these costly conditions.
