"Inheriting the Poetry of Survival": Caleb Ward reviews "Survival Is a Promise: The Eternal Life of Audre Lorde" by Alexis Pauline Gumbs (Keywords: Poetry; Biography; Black Feminism) "Something as insubstantial as a poetic image, if it touches on some truth or real feeling, can launch transformations."

@philosopher1923.bsky.social published a beautifully written review of Alexis P. Gumbs’s biography of Audre Lorde by Caleb Ward. I highly recommend it. #BlackFeminism #BlackStudies

When Knowledge is Free, What are Professors For? Higher Education Must Stop Competing with AI on Information and Start Teaching What Machines Can’t Do

Wow. Just wow.

"Students pay premium prices for information that AI now delivers instantly and for free. A business student can ask ChatGPT to explain supply chain optimization or generate market analysis in seconds. The traditional lecture-and-test model faces its Blockbuster moment."

Yet, academia often feels like an exercise in abstracting liberation--in rationalising pain, theorising suffering,
producing explanations for the sake of explanation itself. I must resist to this. I must remind myself that this work is not about me, today, or the academy. (4/4) #notesfromthedge

Theory can’t be a refuge. It must be struggle--alive, listening, moving with those it honours. Theory isn’t a luxury. It’s a necessity.A remedy for despair, a way of remembering freedom. (3/4)

I started my PhD during a pandemic. I’ve lived through decades of austerity, experienced and then witnessed genocides, and watched fascism stroll back into mainstream politics. Among others things. In such a world, thinking feels like a privilege. Writing feels like survival.(2/4)

Sometimes I think about the conditions in which one becomes an academic today. (1/4)

Yet the thesis concludes: empires ultimately fall as struggles for life-affirming world-making and freedom will always prevail🥁🐉. (4/4)
