As the UCLA Luskin Institute on Inequality and Democracy turns 10, this convening takes up the conditions and possibilities of a third reconstruction, or the unfinished work of abolition, reparation and decolonization. Learning from freedom movements, as the Institute has always done, we foreground insurgencies that dismantle police-property relations and situate the U.S. as an empire-state within a world of landless and poor people’s movements. Taking place at a conjuncture of resurgent white nationalism, we ask how the public university can house the third reconstruction and chart the forms of study necessary for dangerous times.
Sessions: We Believe in Living: Organizing in the Wake; From White Reconstruction to the Third Reconstruction; Reconstructing the University; We Live in Public: Abolitionist Futures
