Last Day Digest: July

July's list is a little shorter as I've been preparing for a cross-country move. But, in a lot of ways, the theme is more or less the same that we've been reading: about institutional failure, the exhaustion of activism, and interrogations of what we know and experience. 

Hope you enjoy reading some of what I've read thus far. 

Note: As always, the posts here are things I have found to be thought-provoking and compelling, but by no means are endorsements of the authors, organizations, and ideas. Also they are posted in no particular order.

10 year-old- Translating for Parents  |  Oof. This hit right at home for me reading about translating for parents as a child of immigrants. 
​
The Colorblind Rainbow Center Tells us that Nothing is Wrong  | McSweeney's hilarious yet disturbing satire  about diversity and college campus responses.

Faculty diversity to a university | Great article from The Atlantic about the cost of invisible labor.

Intersectional leadership conceptualization by Black women for Black girls  |  I normally don't include research articles in the digest, but this one by Dr. Angel M. Nash's and Dr. April L. Peter will be an exception and I highly recommend checking it out~

The Politics of Exhaustion | Okay okay, so another research article, but it's another great one by Dr. Akwugo Emejulu & Dr. Leah Bassel about the exhaustion  of activism and solidarity building felt by Women of Color. 

Racism and Responsibilization of White Fragility  |  Very interesting take on Robin DiAngelo's "White Fragility," which has been making top rounds with the anti-racism reader lists.
