In this part of the course, we especially spend time with the work of la paperson/K. Wayne Yang whose 2019 book insists that a Third University is Possible, now the namesake of the course.
Dr. Yang writes about decolonization and everyday epic organizing, particularly from underneath ghetto colonialism, often with his frequent collaborator, Eve Tuck. Currently, they are convening The Land Relationships Super Collective, editing the book series, Indigenous and Decolonizing Studies in Education, and editing the journal, Critical Ethnic Studies. He is interested in the complex role of cities in global affairs: cities as sites of settler colonialism, as stages for empire, as places of resettlement and gentrification, and as always-already on Indigenous lands. He is currently serving as Provost of John Muir College at UC San Diego. |

la paperson/ K. Wayne Yang argues that colonial systems of education always carry within them “decolonial” riders who desire and work against the machines that have made us. After you read, ruminate deeply on the following: What does “decolonial refusal” look like for you in your classroom? In your research? In your writing? In your vibe? What do you think of the possibility of “A Third University”?
