Abstract

This coauthored article is about building solidarity on Canadian university campuses. We construct a narrative in two registers—one justified left, one justified right—that traces our activism within and beyond the university and how our own solidarity has grown over time and informs our current research collaboration. On the one (left) hand, we describe how we as colleagues, comrades, and friends have come to work together in a shared political project across differences. On the other, we discuss how we have designed and are conducting our research. This polyvocal narration—collaborative, shifting between genres—enacts a radical Black feminist praxis, which informs both our decade-long collaboration and also the principles of the research project we have developed to examine Black student activism and coalition building. We close the article with a reflection on how graduate student researchers are collaborating on the project, their insights, and reflections they have shared with us.

摘要

这篇合着的文章是关于在加拿大大学校园内建立团结。我们在两个寄存器中构建了一个叙述——一个有正当理由的左派，一个有正当理由的右派——追溯我们在大学内外的行动主义，以及我们自己的团结如何随着时间的推移而增长，并为我们当前的研究合作提供信息。一方面（左），我们描述了我们作为同事、同志和朋友如何在一个跨越分歧的共同政治项目中一起工作。另一方面，我们讨论了我们是如何设计和进行研究的。这种多语言的叙述——合作，在流派之间转换——制定了激进的黑人女权主义实践，它为我们长达十年的合作以及我们为研究黑人学生激进主义和联盟建设而开发的研究项目的原则提供了信息。
