妇女研究项目声明支持黑人的生命也很重要以及非洲研究部门的要求

南苏丹大学妇女研究项目支持非洲研究部门提出的要求, whose letter and action items can be found and signed 在这里. 我们鼓励我们的同行调查他们的部门是如何支持贝尔·胡克斯所说的“帝国主义”的, white-supremacist, capitalist patriarchy.” We unequivocally affirm that Black Lives Matter, 我们将继续确保我们的知识分子和活动家的工作反映这一见解. Our curriculum has been, and will continue to be, grounded in decolonizing pedagogy; the works and theories of women of color; and queer, 非二进制, and gender-expansive voices and worldviews.

As an academic discipline that views teaching, 学习, and activism as part of an inseparable whole, 我们与黑人学生和那些冒着生命危险抗议国家暴力的人站在一起, 不人道, surveillance and murder of Black bodies in the United States. #BlackLivesMatter was founded by three Black women -- Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullers, 和奥珀尔·托梅蒂——尽管他们的历史常常被掩盖，他们的酷儿身份也常常被忽视. We say the names of Sandra Bland, Breonna Taylor, Reika博伊德, 米娅大厅, 以及Korryn Gaines和无数其他黑人女性和变性人，他们都是警察暴力的受害者. 我们特别关注妮娜·波普和其他黑人跨性别女性的死亡，她们的谋杀率是普通人群的七倍. 在本地, 我们理解了南加州激进抵抗运动长期历史中的当代时刻. This history ranges from the Cooper Do-Nut Riots, w在这里 police brutality rooted in racism, 不再恐, and homophobia was resisted and exposed by Black and brown transwomen; to the Watts Rebellion, which won major gains for South LA, including the establishment of 基督教社会联盟DH; to the 1992 Los Angeles Uprising in response not only to the LAPD’s brutal assault of Rodney King, 还谋杀了15岁的拉塔莎·哈林斯. 作为女权主义者，我们尊重这段抵抗的历史，并致力于将其反映在我们的教学中.

White supremacy is our nation’s greatest ill, and the feminist movement has not escaped its contagion. As we continue our work to imagine and cultivate a more just world, we recognize that our labor is aligned with, and indebted to, the critical intellectual, 情感, and physical work that countless others, particularly Black women and other women of color, have done before us. 我们的教师和课程都承认这段历史，同时努力开展一场更具包容性的运动，以结束性别歧视和种族等压迫的交叉方面, class, 性, 种族, and 宗教.

We know t在这里 are no options besides demanding a better future. Today, and always, we send love and strength to our students. 他们将思想转化为行动，为所有人更有希望的未来铺平了道路.
