Black Study Beyond Borders

The Department of Black Study is committed to nurturing Black thrival at UCR, Southern California, and beyond. One such effort is through our course, BLKS 195 – Black Study Inland Empire Community Initiative, where students are mentored by faculty and a community organization, artist, or activist, in a project of their design. Many of our remote courses are open to community scholars from around the world, as we seek to connect our students with Black Queer and Trans scholars and artists who are largely disenfranchised from access to the academy. Please reach out to us if you are interested in partnering with our students or faculty.

Public Statement to Protect Campus Speech and Academic Freedom

We publicly condemn the UC leadership’s adoption of policies that criminalize our right to teach, write, and research the truth about Palestine. We publicly condemn directives that limit our rights to free speech and expression on behalf of Palestinian liberation with threats of censure or retaliation. 

We express our commitment to supporting and affirming students, staff, and faculty experiencing anti-Palestinian racism and Zionist suppression, policing, surveillance, badgering, and punitive assaults. We defend academic freedom without intimidation, censure, or reprisal. We call on the UC administration to cease their ongoing bullying, disciplining, and criminalization of campus activism for a free Palestine.
