pretense vs. academic self-importance

why am i on this conference steering committee again? why was i invited to join? here now embodied are all of the inescapable elements, the unrelenting components of the institutional system i still despise yet cannot escape rolled into those who are my childhood friends of sorts, the climbers who escaped their delegated poverties to join the ranks of the sanitized spaces of academia… why am i at the table?

About me

i am a rogue, activist anthropologist excavating justice opportunities on the border, exposing movement-building, growing sustainable solutions, disrupting the homelands, emancipating the interface between activism and academia, and generally carrying on.
