Left of Black S12 · E26 | Discussing The University Plantation System with Bianca C. Williams & Armond Towns

Is it going too far to liken the modern-day university to the plantation system of old regarding academia's exploitation of Black labor and the squelching of student activism by school administrators? Bianca C. Williams, Associate Professor of Anthropology, Critical Psychology, and Women & Gender Studies at CUNY Graduate Center, and Armond R. Towns, Associate Professor of Communication and Media Studies at Carleton University in Ottawa, join Left of Black host and Duke University Professor Mark Anthony Neal for a robust discussion on the latest publication, Plantation Politics and Campus Rebellions: Power, Diversity, and the Emancipatory Struggle in Higher Education, published by SUNY Press.
