Building the Fugitive Academy: Communication, Culture, Media, & Rhetoric Scholars on the Work of Transformation

In this ongoing moment of global consciousness and uprising about racism, classism, sexism, ableism, and other forms of oppression, collaboratively creating theories and tactics to dismantle violent institutions and create liberatory worlds is necessary and urgent work. This conference is focused on the cooperative historical, theoretical, and skillbuilding portions of transformation, specifically in the context of the disciplines of communication, media studies, cultural studies, and rhetoric.
