Abstract
Retrieving memories of dialogical knowledge production: COVID-19 and the global (re) awakening to systemic racism.
Highlights
The origins of my approach to academic scholarship were established by my parents’ commitment to the revolutionary politics of social change and care
Later in my adult life, I found out that I have a number of neurodiverse traits, which helped to explain why I regularly felt that I lacked the intellectual capacity to adequately contribute to real social change
I am informed by the scholarly interventions by Black feminists like Patricia Hill Collins who encourages a reflection on how dialogical knowledge production creates memories of praxis that can be relied on in times of crisis, and during moments of imagining alternative futures (Hill Collins, 2012)
Summary
The origins of my approach to academic scholarship were established by my parents’ commitment to the revolutionary politics of social change and care. I am informed by the scholarly interventions by Black feminists like Patricia Hill Collins who encourages a reflection on how dialogical knowledge production (often connecting theory, practice and action) creates memories of praxis that can be relied on in times of crisis, and during moments of imagining alternative futures (Hill Collins, 2012).
