Tools for the Undercommons Speaker Series 2026, Part 1

When: Wednesday, March 12, 2025, 12noon-1:15 PT / 1-2:15pm MT / 2-3:15pm CT / 3-4:15pm ET
Where: Online via zoom

Drawing inspiration from Harney and Moten’s theorization of “study” as the “incessant and the irreversible intellectuality” present in myriad forms of collective knowledge production, this speaker series brings together scholars, artists, and other cultural workers to share field-tested tools that maintain alternate centers of gravity within (and outside of) academia, while also constituting an undercommons of its own. 

This IA Collaboratory is organized by professors Jacqueline Jean Barrios and Harris Kornstein (Public & Applied Humanities, University of Arizona), and each virtual event features two guest speakers in a salon-style conversation with attendees.

This month’s event features speakers Romi Ron Morrison, an interdisciplinary artist, researcher, and educator at UCLA Design Media Arts, and Sarah Biscarra Dilley, a multidisciplinary artist, writer, educator, member of the yak titʸu titʸu yak tiłhini Northern Chumash tribe and Director of Indigenous Programs and Relationality at Forge Project.
