FRIT 37.05 Black Queer & Trans Futures: An Experiment
Engaging with the histories and present realities of colonial dispossession, racial violence and cisheteropatriarchy on campus and beyond, we will examine and craft visions of alternative futures grounded in prison abolition. Drawing on archival research, critical theory and speculative fiction from Black queer and trans thinkers such as Miss Major, Edouard Glissant, Marie Vieux-Chauvet, Octavia Butler, and Samuel Delany, our goal will be to challenge our current carceral order, chart how we move past it, and imagine what liberatory prison abolitionist futures lie beyond.
