This is a really interesting reading of Moten/ Harney, and particularly interesting because it talks about GC alum Lavelle Porter’s book The Blackademic Life:

And here is a blog post that I found interesting; I find that there are a lot of rich reflections on Moten/ Harney in the blogosphere:

Sept 16, 5 pm EST  “Putting the Humanities PhD To Work: A Conversation with Katina Rogers,” Co-Sponsored by the Obermann Center for Advanced Studies, University of Iowa.  Register here: https://obermann.uiowa.edu/events/putting-humanities-phd-work-conversation-katina-rogers

In her new book, Putting the Humanities PhD to Work (Duke University Press, 2020), Katina Rogers invites readers to build a university that is truly worth fighting for by thinking more expansively about what constitutes scholarly success—not only to support individual career pathways, but also to work toward greater equity and inclusion in the academy. This book grounds practical career advice in a nuanced consideration of the academic workforce, diversity and inclusion, new modes of scholarly communication, and humanities education as a public good. It posits that career-related initiatives in graduate programs must engage with the pressing issues of graduate education today, such as admissions practices, scholarly reward structures, equity and inclusion, and academic labor practices—especially the increasing reliance on contingent labor. And it examines ways that current practices perpetuate systems of inequality, resulting in continued underrepresentation of women and minorities in the academy.
