Hey folks,
I'm going to do a draft of the syllabus we're going to hand in this weekend, if you want to have a look at it once it's done just reach out (email = joshuahwiebe@gmail.com or on fb= Joshua Harold Wiebe), incidentally I'd be happy to be in regular contact w/ any of y'all more generally.
Kelann and I talked briefly about the structure of the actual study and we were thinking we'd do 3 books in the same way we've been reading, starting with Undercommons and maybe doing Black and Blur (Moten's new book that comes out in a week) and then something else that people were excited about, maybe Simone Browne's Dark Matters: On the Surveillance of Blackness? Just ideas, suggestions welcome of course.
Beyond that, we thought it'd be cool if every week a different person was responsible for guiding people through the reading, so we could avoid the traditional hierarchy thing-- though there'd be no constraints on what that would look like: just some questions, thoughts, or just passages that someone noticed.
Obviously none of this is set in stone and if people have concerns or want to do something else, or if Erin has something in mind, I figured I'd just get the ball rolling, should be done a draft by Monday.
Incidentally, was great reading/learning with y'all.

I just started reading Intimacies of Four Continents by Lisa Lowe and it's really amazing and might be of interest:
