<aside> 📎 What is a social syllabus?

"A social syllabus is a proposal for collective study, which Fred Moten and Stefano Harney understand as 'a kind of invitation for other people to pick stuff up” and to experiment with a fugitive network beyond and below the university (The Undercommons, p. 109)'

From this perspective, a social syllabus for decolonial abolitionist study is not a “resource” for the extraction of knowledge, it is a way of assembling, creating,and reclaiming new (and old) ways of being in right relation, even or especially in the midst of oppressive institutions and harmful infrastructures that call for abolition." - noprisons.ca
