Abstract

ABSTRACT In this essay, the author, a Black queer Mississippian, advances a methodology they term quare autocritography to reflect upon their experiences of precarity, exclusion, and isolation as a graduate student at the University of Dixie. The author particularly focuses on how they use “performances of propriety,” or strategies marginalized people employ to draw on an institution's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion as the catalyst for radical liberatory politics and institutional change. Within the context of higher education, these performances help to envision and engender new possibilities and thereby function as avenues of survival for marginalized others.
