those of us in fields like queer studies, Black studies, Latinx studies, etc, have always had to justify our existence. The crisis has always been here. But we also have always moved not in just in defense, but in unapologetic & strategic creation, worldmaking, not needing permission to do the work.

exactly this. particularly those of us who research & teach minoritized knowledges in the humanities know our value cannot be determined or sanctioned according to hegemonic institutions. The work must be done because we know it matters, because we know it will forge a better world.

My family members have labored in fields for decades. They have expertise as to how to tend the land & grow crops, they work under grueling conditions & long hours. They deserve a dignified wage, that allows them to live a good, prosperous life.

I’ve been in many academic spaces where I’ve expressed that my farmworking family members deserve a livable & dignified wage. Equal or even better than our wage as academic laborers. And folks are always flabbergasted by this notion. The labor hierarchies & elitism are very real.
