In my dissertation, I argue that student activism played a key role in the intellectual history of civil disobedience at least twice: at the beginning of the 1960s (Freedom Rides, sit-in movement) and at the end of the 1960s (antiwar movements) —

It is fascinating to realize that most of my left-wing colleagues are to the right of Rawls when it comes to justifying civil disobedience and conceiving of the role of professors in supporting student resistance movements

I can see the time coming when theorists of (un)civil disobedience currently silent will use these protests as examples in their work. It's typically too late that philosophers and theorists try to contribute to the debates about resistance or the struggles reshaping the world

Many of you seem to want to actively ignore the extent to which intellectual history and political theory are animated by antiblackness, even if you write about Black authors and even if you invite tenured Black professors to your events
