Speaker Information:
Dr. Stephen John Quaye \, Miami University
Since 2014\, visible\, public student act ivism has been on the rise. #BlackLivesMatter activists\, specifically\, h ave used protesting\, teach-ins\, and meetings with campus administrators to call attention to racism on campuses and in the larger society. Often\, this activism is spurred by the continued senseless killing of Black peop le by police officers and continued racism on their campuses. With social media\, it is often easier for these killings to gain attention with image s of these slain Black bodies being tweeted and retweeted constantly.
\ nOften missing\, however\, from the conversation about activism is how scholars engage in activism. What is the role of scholars in engaging in a ctivism? And how do scholars practice self-care with the onslaught of medi a attention to Black people being killed? In this talk\, I make a case for scholar activism\, that is\, activism by faculty\, researchers\, or schol ars\, and how scholars blend their activist identities with their scholars hip. I explore the possibilities and challenges of scholar activism and st rategies for practicing self-care in the midst of this activism.
