This workshop will explore what it means to make “good trouble.” Making "good trouble", as described by Civil Rights Leader and Congressman John Lewis is doing “something out of the ordinary,” to make “a way out of no way.” As per Flint and Toledo (2021): "Troubling is about how we relate as we live and become together in the world." Together, we will use the concept of 'troubling' as a framework that notices and names injustices. We will also consider how we can create new ways of relating to one another in order to coexist in a good way. By the end of this session, participants will identify practical strategies for making "good trouble."

Do witnesses alter or influence the nature of documentation? How does documentation create opportunities to reflect on, reconsider, or extend the performance?

In 2008, Critical Race Theorist William Smith coined the term Racial Battle Fatigue to describe the experiences of African American men. However, the term has since gained momentum and is now used to describe the snowballing effects of microaggressions and other negative racially charged experiences of people of colour. Smith defines Racial Battle Fatigue as the “cumulative result of a natural race-related stress response to distressing mental and emotional conditions. These conditions emerged from constantly facing racially dismissive, demeaning, insensitive and/or hostile racial environments and individuals” (Smith et al. 2011). In this workshop, we will explore the effects of Racial Battle Fatigue on Black students, faculty and staff in higher education, and consider how might work collectively to mitigate these experiences.
