AAUP chapter @UT Austin @utaustinaaup.bsky.social · 07/11/2025

UT Austin is discussing eliminating or consolidating our departments of African American and African Diaspora Studies, Mexican/American and Latino/Latina Studies, and Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies. Here is what AAADS alumni have to say. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

With other former graduate students, I stand in solidarity with Black Studies at @universityoftexas.bsky.social + Mexican & Latino Studies, Women's & Gender Studies, faculty & students across UT #saveUT @utaustinaaup.bsky.social #academic #freedom #education #UT #atx #blackstudies

PLEASE SHARE!:

As a UT Austin African and African Diaspora Studies PhD alum, I stand in solidarity with the faculty, staff and current undergraduate and graduate students of the departments of Black Studies, Gender Studies, and Latino Studies.

I have had the pleasure of interacting with all of these departments and stand with my fellow UT Austin Black Studies grad alums as we say “ABSOLUTELY NOT!” to the elimination of these departments.

UT Austin AADS helped me sharpen as not only a scholar/thinker and educator but also as an artist and someone involved deeply in community organizing. I have developed life-long bonds with the people who come from this department and can genuinely say that I would not be the person that I am today without the friends and colleagues that I have made that adhere to and honor this great tradition of Black Study. Without this program, I would not have become as specialized in diasporic notions of Black feminist, queer and trans studies. Without this program, I would not have been trained to ask critical questions of myself, these orders and the world. Without this program, my teaching would have been uncritical, unimaginative and without rigor. And without this program I would not have become a Black Sexualities tenure-track professor. Though challenging, UT Austin African and African Diaspora Studies made me PREPARED.

Myself and others will NOT stand for this and we ask all who will listen and all who are willing to support by spreading this information and saying NO WAY and ABSOLUTELY NOT to the elimination of these NECESSARY DEPARTMENTS.

WE WILL FIGHT THIS! Do not allow for UT Austin to cower to state pressure and eliminate necessary departments that consider the survival of our people.

Re: F*ck Diddy and Prisons For context. I don't support prisons. But we need to be clear thatthis is why the state, the "criminal" justice system has got to go. The way that they can bend, pull, redirect, obfuscate, exhaust?

I'm very sad to hear that we have lost the brilliant feminist film scholar Linda Williams, whose book "Hard Core" was one of the first feminist historical studies of porn. I was lucky to work with her on the "Porn Studies" collection & her books "Screening Sex" & "On The Wire." Rest in peace, Linda.

In "Hemispheric Blackface," Danielle Roper examines blackface performance and its relationship to 20th- & 21st-century nationalist fictions of mestizaje, creole nationalism, and other versions of postracialism in the Americas. Check out the intro for free! #PerformanceStudies buff.ly/VcxRetk

Cover of Hemispheric Blackface: Impersonation and Nationalist Fictions in the Americas by Danielle M. Roper. The cover features art by Leasho Johnson, Banshee #2. The artwork contains a black silhouette of a human figure, which appears to have its back to the viewer. A conglomerate of colorful, textured swirls covers the figure's neck and the lower half of its head. The swirls include blue, red, orange, yellow, light green, and pink streaks. Amidst the swirls, there is a golden shape that resembles a lyre.

daytime soaps play a precious role in our acting ecosystem: actors are able to cut their teeth on something real as they act out the full range of human emotion. it always shows who got their start in soaps.

Reading that terrible story in the Guardian about Harvard’s “possession” of “human remains” (language breaks all the way down here) and I remember when artist Fred Wilson challenged the museum’s racist violent display by the use of index cards like “someone’s mother,” “someone’s brother”…heartbreak

More on ‘Anora’: And for the record, I don’t care about the Oscars. However, there’s a large gap between [white] s3x w0rkers and Black s3x w0rkers, and an even larger gap between w0rkers and non-w0rkers…
