Why Community Organizing Humanities?

• If you have ever wondered “what’s the point of education right now?” this framework offers a new way to approach the humanities in the f*&%tangle we are in (the polycrisis, the interregnum, what have you) grounded in practices of collective struggle. (Check out “Hey there Communitarian Revolutionary Subject Texting in My Class” for a taste.)

• emerges from the wisdom of colleagues teaching Community Change Studies at public colleges with Black, Brown, immigrant, and low-income students across the U.S.
• provokes an undisciplined project for the humanities: cultivating “revolutionary collective subjects” through the generative insights queer theory alongside the decolonial thought of Sylvia Wynter’s demand for the humanities and education write large as “initiation” into a “new science of origin stories” for the human species
