Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
The navigation and socialization within academia is rife with toxicity and a hidden curricula reflective of neoliberal competitiveness, drawn from White cis-hetero colonialist patriarchy. To challenge and resist the toxicity within academia, Communities of Color have created counterspaces to share resources, build beyond the purported individualism, and connect through vulnerability and care. Within this reflection, are the lessons learned of creating one such counterspace through the development of a website— a “site” of resistance.
