Inspired by a vision of insurgent knowledge and pedagogies of dissent this lecture reflects on the current landscape of the neoliberal, punitive, militarized, carceral racist and hetronormative US State and the cultural workings of neoliberal governmentalities. Examines current anti-racist rebellions in response to police violence that center Black lives and offers an analysis of how these constitute both insurgent knowledges and encode radical pedagogies.
