In Class with Carr

Knarrative

In February of 2021, Karen Hunter asked Greg Carr, "Can I press record?" during a private discussion on Ida B. Wells. That kicked off what would become "In Class with Carr," a global phenomenon featuring the People's Professor Dr. Greg Carr. All of the episodes can be found on the Knarrative platform (www.knarrative.com) and you can join the community, #Knubia (community.knarrative.com).

    S E1325: In Class with Carr, Ep. 324: Black Space / Black Place / Black Pace

    The U.S. Memorial Day weekend is often described as the unofficial beginning of summer. Amid mounting regional and global challenges to U.S. power, intensifying US white nationalist politics, and the approach of federal Semiquincentennial celebrations, questions of memory, governance and collective identity take on renewed urgency. This week’s In Class With Carr continues our long-term project of thinking about ourselves and the world through an Africana Studies lens by asking what it means to remember Black spaces in a moment of watershed social transition. From HBCUs seeking position in intensifying data center interventions to the continuing meaning and relevance of Black towns, Black self-determination, Black political organizing and the politics of commemoration, we consider how cultural memory, movement work, and Governance intersect. How do we protect and extend Black spaces? What stories connect us across time and place? How might deepening cultural memory, collective Ways of Knowing, and organized action help create social arrangements capable of serving the needs of all? Are you a member of Knarrative?

    S E1324: In Class with Carr, Ep. 323: “From Time to Time”

    In session 323, In Class with Carr uses the 2026 Commencement Season to explore the nature of time and the ways rituals marking transition create opportunities to reflect on Africana Governance, our relationships to one another and our obligations to each other. Centering Sankofa as a Way of Knowing, we examine how individual and collective dignity and power are strengthened through action-oriented rituals of Cultural Meaning-Making that encourage collective reflection. Strengthening this momentum of memory is especially important during moments when Social Structures intensify contests over global and local power arrangements and weaponize identity and memory against groups perceived as threats to existing power systems. This week, during a meeting with the U.S. President and leading figures in global business, Chinese President Xi Jinping invoked a metaphor from the Greek historian Thucydides—“the Thucydides Trap”—to signal a shifting global balance of power. Whether in conversations among BRICS foreign ministers in India, in commencement addresses to anxious graduates at Black and other institutions, or in testimony of rising forces determined to break attempts by White nationalist legislators in the neo-Confederate U.S. South to hold on to their fading power arrangements, one message is clear: We are living through a new time in the perpetual realignment of power. The question we must answer is whether—and how—we will respond. Are you a member of Knarrative? If not, we invite you to join our community today by signing up at: https://www.knarrative.com.
