Global White Supremacy
Anti-Blackness and the University as Colonizer
Rutgers University Press
Global White supremacy is deeply historical and contemporary—a transnational and imperial phenomenon that is maintained through academic constructions of anti-Blackness. Collins, Newman, and Jun offer context, history, and perspective that disrupt how the curriculum, statues, architectures, and other aspects of the university serve as sites of colonial and White supremacist preservation—as well as sites of resistance.

By Yang Va Lor

Wrecked
Deinstitutionalization and Partial Defenses in State Higher Education Policy

The changing politics of the Right place it on a collision course with higher education. These political forces support a policy agenda of deinstitutionalization, in which Republican officials both slash funding for and undermine trust in public higher education.
