This month’s Higher Education newsletter examines how Black activists and scholars shape universities into liberatory spaces. Our first feature excerpts from Abdul Alkalimat’s latest book, The History of Black Studies, where Alkalimat discusses the past, present, and future of scholarship and activism centered on Blackness in higher education. Next, we explore the rich history of Black business schools as sites of intellectual, political, and economic activism. We then turn to the intersection of race and work in higher education with a discussion between labor historians. Finally, we invite readers to submit article pitches on building pro-Black institutions, including universities and educational spaces.
