Remastered Tools
Remastered Tools is a series of 4 webinars based on my alchemy of the insight of Audre Lorde into practical tools for community accountable scholars and an opportunity to connect with other aligned underrepresented visionary graduate students.
1. Remastered Tools 101
Remastered Tools 101 is an opportunity to examine our relationship to knowledge and our theories of change as they relate to the work we do as scholars and the work we empower with our scholarship. We will investigate how dependence on systems that are NOT community accountable are cultivated even in the most seemingly radical fields and support each other in creating visions for our own community accountability.

2. The Angry Intellectual: Channeling Rage for Transformation
The Angry Intellectual is an opportunity for visionary underrepresented scholars to transform our venting about the injustice we experience in the university industrial complex into clarity, decision and motivation in our own lives and in the institutions we want to create. It is also an opportunity to see connections between the different nonsense that is making us all rightfully angry and to make partnerships to transform the conditions of our outrage.
