I keep telling my academic friends to turn their books into short pamphlets and to hand those out for free in their communities. I excerpted a chapter from a friend's book last year, made it into a zine, and so far I've distributed 400 hard copies and it's also available for digital download.

Storying Climate Justice: 
Black-Indigenous Methodologies and Pedagogical Possibilities
Tuesday, April 15
12:00-1:00pm (Eastern Time)

Dr. Fikile Nxumalo
OISE, University of Toronto

What stories emerged from climate justice research with lands, children, families, elders, teachers in Nkambeni, Eswatini? In this talk, Dr. Fikile Nxumalo brings together (post)qualitative inquiry and Black-Indigenous methodologies to orient towards a particular kind of disruptive storytelling. A situated understanding of radical relationality is espoused as a concept that interconnects the stories. This approach insists on the rigor of storytelling as method whilst thinking through carefully about what and how stories can be shared, inviting opacity as a generative way toward pedagogical possibilities with Indigenous communities, knowledges and lands.
