Listen "What is Solidarity?"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Sarah Stachowiak joins Carolina and Vidhya in reflecting transparently on our financial relationship. How does the owning class’s control over manufacturing processes and products show up in the knowledge economy and the evaluation of public and nonprofit/ nongovernmental programs? What does it mean for the “raw material” (data about/ from program participants)? For the “independence” of knowledge workers, who market ourselves in terms of how much more value we produce for the people who pay for our goods and services? Can we think of financial exchange differently? How could we organize accountability in knowledge work horizontally across class status—not necessarily around shared experiences of oppression, but rather around shared resistance against it?Episode 1.4 TRANSCRIPTNotes1:30: In solidarity with the Duwamish, we lift up this petition for federal recognition as well as their reparations program, Real Rent6:47: The Critical Educators for Social Justice Special Interest Group (SIG) made is no longer available online. here.8:47: AEA’s statement is no longer available online but reprinted here10:12: It was more like 6 weeks later, not 6 months later that the Advocacy & Policy Change TIG issued a statement11:35: The only other statement that we are aware of AEA having made was issued in 2003. here.33:11: about “kinder and gentler” here and here35:29: The financial benefits are explained hereReferencesORS ImpactWho Are We?What is anthropology?Making Ends MeetKathryn EdinLaura LeinPersonal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation ActThe welfare queen myth shapes who we believe is deserving and fully human, and who is notEvalTalkAEA APC TIGGeorge ZimmermanAmerican Educational Research Association (AERA)Critical Educators for Social Justice“Special Interest Group” (SIG)At‐risk programs: Evaluation and critical inquiryWhite nationalism appears to be connected ideologically to the growing Christian nationalism movementAmerican Evaluation AssociationRemembering the El Paso massacre that targeted LatinosMultiethnic Issues in Evaluation (MIE) Topical Interest Group (TIG)APC Evaluators Actions to Undo Racism and White Supremacy in our FieldJared RaynorRobin KaneZsuzsanna LippaiAnne GiennapPledge of Refusal to ProfitCausal PathwaysOn Capitalism’s Emotional LogicsWhite Women’s Power in NonprofitsToward an Understanding of Founder’s SyndromeYvonne BelangerSolidarity Is Not a Market ExchangeThe Price of Civil Rights: Black Lives, White Funding, and Movement CapturePhilanthropy & Movement CaptureWhat is General Operating Support and Why is it Important?Hindolo PokawaWhat Is A Co-op?Marxism and Worker CooperativesContradictions of Capitalism and Their Ideological CounterpartsThe New Politics of OwnershipIdentity Politics and Elite CaptureThe Curious Case of Self-ExploitationThe fantasy of employability and the ironic struggle for self-exploitationSocial StratificationYes, I Said "National Liberation"Purity politics in compromised timesFrom allies to comradesWhy join the Intro to Decolonial Sustainability course from Possible FuturesColonialism, Coloniality and Settler ColonialismDecolonization of Asia and Africa, 1945–1960Liberalism and the Idea of TolerationNeoliberalismGramsci and hegemonyPossible FuturesHow corporate “sustainability” evolves into hyper-colonial “regeneration”Reparations as a Transitional Justice MechanismFrom Allies to Co-ConspiratorsThe Corporate War Against Higher EducationThe Emotional Logic of CapitalismA Theory of CommodificationMusic“Inspired” Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0Contact us Website: https://themay13group.netLinkedIn:Carolina: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carodelaVidhya: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vidhyashankerDonate to our podcast!
