Excited to kick off Isle of Intellectuals tomorrow🌴📚 A seminar inviting students to think as intellectuals—critically, creatively, grounded—in our times of anti-intellectualism. It's inspired by @agardjones who taught a course by this title, itself coined by @lugicast.

A slide for Isle of Intellectuals: Cultural and Environmental Theory from Martinique, with map of Martinique and the Frantz Fanon quote “Each generation must discover its mission, fulfill it or betray it, in relative opacity."
