Purposefully Black Interactional Systems: Disrupting Punitive School Discipline Models Through Banter, The Funk, And The Black Aesthetic, S. M. Wilson May 2026

Purposefully Black Interactional Systems: Disrupting Punitive School Discipline Models Through Banter, The Funk, And The Black Aesthetic, S. M. Wilson

Black Educology Mixtape "Journal"

This empirical study seeks to understand the narratives of four Black men teachers and two Black women teachers about how they implement school discipline and classroom management in their K–12 contexts. This track draws on interdisciplinary perspectives from education, linguistic anthropology, and African American studies to understand how banter and ritual insults function as alternatives to traditional discipline. Phenomenology and thematic analysis of six semistructured interviews demonstrated Black teachers’ beliefs that outdated and punitive orientations should be challenged. These teachers enacted discipline through talk—particularly banter, ritual insults, and what I call “purposefully Black interactional systems,” which embed discipline within them, …

Remixing The Academy Through Backyard Spaces: The Making Of Black Educology, The Mixtape, Dre Carter, Eghosa Obaizamomwan-Hamilton May 2026

Remixing The Academy Through Backyard Spaces: The Making Of Black Educology, The Mixtape, Dre Carter, Eghosa Obaizamomwan-Hamilton

Black Educology Mixtape "Journal"

As Black academics, researchers, and educators, we navigate the twin topographies of the academy and the open territories of possibility. Connecting these realms, we construct “backyard project” spaces—semi-enclosed areas linking academic spaces and liberated spaces. We use our creation of the backyard as a locality wherein we challenge oppressive, antiquated academic systems and anti-Blackness without waiting for reform. For example, our collective project, the Black Educology Mixtape “Journal,” exemplifies this concept. This track discusses the “backyard” as an extension of both third and fugitive spaces and, through material culture and fugitivity as method, highlights the backyard as a site for …

So Great A Cloud Of Witnesses: A Critical Race Counterstory On Teacher Preparation And Repair, La Mont Terry May 2026

So Great A Cloud Of Witnesses: A Critical Race Counterstory On Teacher Preparation And Repair, La Mont Terry

Black Educology Mixtape "Journal"

Selective liberal arts colleges (SLACs) are traditionally undergraduate institutions that focus on providing a broad education in the arts, sciences, and humanities rather than the professional training for the workforce typically available at other institutions of higher education. Despite their comprehensive curriculum, many SLACs have a decades-long commitment to teacher preparation as recognition of the connected nature of K–12 schooling and higher education. This track examines the closure of one such teacher preparation program at an urban liberal arts college and its impact on the faculty who taught in it. Using the critical race theory method of counterstorytelling, I position …

We Buried The Curriculum And Called It Holy, Charles E. Becknell Jr., Johnna Rocker-Clinton May 2026

We Buried The Curriculum And Called It Holy, Charles E. Becknell Jr., Johnna Rocker-Clinton

Black Educology Mixtape "Journal"

This track develops the concept of apocalyptic pedagogy by situating it within Africana studies and classroom rituals, illustrating how curriculum itself can be examined, buried, and reimagined through practices rooted in Black educology. Drawing on ancestral knowledge and collective memory, the track envisions ritual as curriculum, where libation and remembrance become practices of mourning and reclamation. Rather than centering institutional reform, the track frames education as a ritual circle enacting pedagogy as remembrance, mourning, and rebirth, honoring Black life as sacred.

Kong Koch: An Autoethnography On Jieng Indigenous Wisdom And Ethos Of Leadership, Dau D. Jok May 2026

Kong Koch: An Autoethnography On Jieng Indigenous Wisdom And Ethos Of Leadership, Dau D. Jok

Black Educology Mixtape "Journal"

In this track, I argue that Jieng (Dinka) epistemology reshapes leadership by foregrounding restraint (achin te lui ye), emotional regulation (kong koch), and social harmony (wel tuc). These Indigenous approaches challenge dominant trait-based leadership models by exposing their limits in confronting social and contextual diversity. To illustrate these ideas, I draw on personal accounts and member checks with my grandmother (Aboba) to show how Jieng wisdom reframes concepts of leadership, disposition, and practice. Building on this, the track advances Afrocentric leadership literature by defining leadership as communal accountability. Furthermore, it stresses the urgent need for scholars and practitioners to engage …

From The Hood To The Pwi: A Self-Reflective Journey As Learner And Educator, Tatiana C. Height May 2026

From The Hood To The Pwi: A Self-Reflective Journey As Learner And Educator, Tatiana C. Height

Black Educology Mixtape "Journal"

This track explores the concept of organic sustainability within the context of Black educational experiences, drawing from my personal journey as student, scholar, mother, and educator. Using action research and autoethnography, I examine how anti-Black schooling shaped my academic trajectory across K–12 schools, predominantly white institutions, graduate studies, and faculty life. The narrative highlights tensions between education as a promise of liberation and its simultaneous perpetuation of systemic oppression. Strategies of resilience and resistance—such as ungrading, culturally relevant pedagogy, Apocalyptic Education, and unschooling—are positioned as tools to reimagine liberatory education. The work underscores the necessity of rejecting white supremacist norms …

Harriet Tubman’S Underground Railroad As Ancestral Technology For Black Futures, Julia Lynch May 2026

Harriet Tubman’S Underground Railroad As Ancestral Technology For Black Futures, Julia Lynch

Black Educology Mixtape "Journal"

This track draws on BlackMothering to frame Harriet Tubman not only as a conductor of freedom but as an architect of ancestral technology, designing strategies of survival that continue to instruct contemporary struggles. Tubman’s praxis—relational, anticipatory, and collective—illuminates the enduring power of Black knowledge systems to chart pathways through systems of violence and oppression. In conversation with Tiffani Marie and Kenjus Watson’s theorization of Apocalyptic Education and what Django Paris and H. Samy Alim describe as culturally sustaining pedagogy, this track explores how Tubman’s Underground Railroad praxis offers a blueprint for Black sustainability using (a) health and survival, (b) spatial …

After The Bell: Black Sustainability As A Practice Of Remembering, Darius Phelps May 2026

After The Bell: Black Sustainability As A Practice Of Remembering, Darius Phelps

Black Educology Mixtape "Journal"

This track is an elegy and a blueprint—a poetic inquiry into what remains after the schoolhouse is buried. It builds alongside my published work on poetic inquiry, joy, and healing as pedagogical praxis. Drawing upon the frameworks of Tiffani Marie and Kenjus Watson’s Apocalyptic Education and the notion of Ruha Benjamin’s ancestral intelligence, this track reimagines sustainability not as environmental rhetoric but as spiritual and communal practice. Through verse, narrative reflection, and pedagogical testimony, I explore how Black educators and communities sustain life amid institutional decay—transforming grief into growth, resistance into restoration. Anchored in ancestral memory and the radical traditions …

Black Boys And The New Media Mixtape: Ownership, Aspiration, And Hustle In A Digital Age, Kareem Edouard, Taquan S. Stewart May 2026

Black Boys And The New Media Mixtape: Ownership, Aspiration, And Hustle In A Digital Age, Kareem Edouard, Taquan S. Stewart

Black Educology Mixtape "Journal"

In this track, we explore how “new media” platforms become modern “mixtape” tools for Black boys to remix identity and cultural narratives in the digital age. As Audre Lorde reminded us, “The master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house.” Still, we aim to interrogate whether these tools can be repurposed for empowerment. This framework unfolds in three parts: examining ownership and the gatekeeping of cultural narratives, exploring how new media platforms shape aspirations and identities for Black boys, and identifying the tools and pathways for Black boys to both see themselves as creators and access content that reflects them. …

Embodied Archives: The Body As Technology Of Black Sustainability, Felicia Rutledge May 2026

Embodied Archives: The Body As Technology Of Black Sustainability, Felicia Rutledge

Black Educology Mixtape "Journal"

This track develops the concept of embodied archives as technologies of Black sustainability in apocalyptic times. Building from Diana Taylor’s distinction between the archive and the repertoire, and in conversation with Hortense Spillers, Saidiya Hartman, Christina Sharpe, Sami Schalk, Tiffani Marie and Kenjus Watson, and Ruha Benjamin, I argue that Black bodies function as living repositories of knowledge. Long before schools claimed authority over learning, communities preserved memory in movement, rhythm, oral and signed languages, tactile practices, and everyday rituals of care. Disabled Black bodyminds, through practices such as braille literacy and augmentative and alternative communication, further illustrate how assistive …

Dancing In The Wake | Like Moss Over Modernity, Simple Ant May 2026

Dancing In The Wake | Like Moss Over Modernity, Simple Ant

Black Educology Mixtape "Journal"

This offering is a meditation on existing and thriving in the wake of civilization. For centuries, we have educated one another to believe in, and glorify, the insatiable desires of our modern way of life. I begin with the premise that what we call “civilization” is a system predicated on death, violence, and exploitation, because it requires the endless extraction and consumption of the living Earth. Living in this way guts the Earth to feed our ideas of “progress” and “prosperity.” The effect now is that our civilization, our society, our way of life is rotting—bringing with it decay and …

The Cypher: Freedom Dreaming And Black Sustainability Beyond The Ruins, Tiffani Marie, Kenjus Watson, David Stovall, Dre Carter, Simple Ant, Eghosa Obaizamomwan-Hamilton May 2026

The Cypher: Freedom Dreaming And Black Sustainability Beyond The Ruins, Tiffani Marie, Kenjus Watson, David Stovall, Dre Carter, Simple Ant, Eghosa Obaizamomwan-Hamilton

Black Educology Mixtape "Journal"

In confronting the structural collapse of modernity and the dehumanization inherent in public institutions, this cypher serves as a site of radical imagination and sonic medicine. By centering freedom dreaming and Black sustainability, we argue for the necessary pedagogical movements of Black Educology. Ultimately, we invite a collective reimagining of death, not as an end but as a communal transition toward life beyond the trap of modernity.

The Mechanisms Of Narrative Meaning Construction In The Adventures Of Ibn Battuta By Ross Edmond Dunn: A Cognitive Approach, Mohammed El Idrissi

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

This article explores the construction of narrative meaning through the cognitive systems involved in its production and interpretation. It examines the nature of these systems and their role in shaping meaning as innate mental capacities that structure human conceptualization. The study focuses on Ross Edmond Dunn's The Adventures of Ibn Battuta, a modern narrative reconstruction based on the travel accounts of the famous Moroccan traveler. Using a framework inspired by cognitive linguistics, it analyzes how cognitive systems become linguistic supports in the production of narrative meaning. The article seeks to explain travel narrative by linking it to the human mind-brain …

Ibn Battuta's New Journey And Crossing The Boundaries Of The Semiosphere, Abdelhafid Mechkouri May 2026

Ibn Battuta's New Journey And Crossing The Boundaries Of The Semiosphere, Abdelhafid Mechkouri

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

This article addresses the symbolic semiotic representations expressed in Ibn Battuta's New Journey, focusing on cultural space in relation to the self, the traveler, and the other. Drawing on Yuri Lotman's theory of the semiosphere, the study examines how the traveler-narrator moves within the Islamic semiosphere and across neighboring cultural spaces. It shows that cultural representations are organized around three major oppositions: similarity and difference, us and them, and the sacred and the profane. The article argues that the journey divides the other into internal and external figures and organizes space into familiar, safe, and sacred zones on the one …

The Marvelous East In The Marvels Of The Observer In The Strange Lands And Wonders Of Travel By Ibn Battuta, Assil Chebbi May 2026

It analyzes the forms, meanings, and narrative functions of the marvelous, and examines how they affect the interpretation of the journey in both past and present readings. The study first traces the concept of the marvelous in classical Arab culture and its relationship with the strange. It then distinguishes between realistic marvels and supernatural marvels, including miracles, magic, and sorcery. The article concludes that Ibn Battuta's travel account is shaped by two influential and sometimes conflicting …

Structures Of Imagination In Diplomatic Travel Writing: Idris Al-Amraoui's Journey As A Model, Larbi Qandil May 2026

Structures Of Imagination In Diplomatic Travel Writing: Idris Al-Amraoui's Journey As A Model, Larbi Qandil

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

This article examines the structures of imagination in diplomatic travel writing through the example of Idris al-Amraoui's journey to France, The Masterpiece of the Dear King to the Kingdom of Paris. It argues that, although diplomatic travel accounts have often been viewed as factual reports rather than literary texts, they also contain significant cultural and imaginative dimensions. Using cultural criticism, the study analyzes mechanisms such as comparative description, cultural memory, historical narrativization, and cultural analogy. It shows how the Arab-Islamic cultural frame, the authority of memory, and the conditions of writing transform travel testimony into a narrative form shaped by …

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

This article offers an analytical study of Said Alloush’s novel Tasano, Son of the Sun, Damned of the Continents, a work that reimagines the experience of Mostafa Al-Azemmouri, also known as Estebanico, the first Moroccan to reach the Americas as a member of Pánfilo de Narváez’s expedition to Florida in 1527. The article examines how Alloush moves beyond linear documentary writing and uses fiction to create a space of interaction between fiction and history, identity and memory, resistance to slavery and the reclamation of identity. It focuses on Al-Azemmouri’s individual experience, his resistance to slavery, the reconstruction of his Moroccan, …

The Anthropological Journey, Jamil Hamdaoui

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

This article defines the anthropological journey as a journey undertaken by a traveler to another place, away from his home country, for scientific, religious, touristic, commercial, exploratory, or pilgrimage purposes.

The Slavery Narrative And The Real And Fictional Representations In The Character Of Estevanico: A Case Study Of Abderrahim Al-Khassar’S Novel Jaziratu Al-Buka’I Al-Tawil (Weeping Island), Said Elaimari May 2026

The Slavery Narrative And The Real And Fictional Representations In The Character Of Estevanico: A Case Study Of Abderrahim Al-Khassar’S Novel Jaziratu Al-Buka’I Al-Tawil (Weeping Island), Said Elaimari

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

This article studies Abderrahim Al-Khassar’s novel Jaziratu al-Buka’i al-Tawil (Weeping Island) by tracing Estevanico as a central character throughout the narrative. It highlights the functional role of the slavery narrative in structuring the novel and connects it to the identity lost through Estevanico’s social labeling as a slave. The study shows how the novel draws on both real and fictional representations: on the one hand, it revisits Cabeza de Vaca’s historical account and its inferior portrayal of Estevanico as a black slave; on the other, it reconstructs Estevanico’s life before enslavement and reshapes his image in Amerindian lands in a …

The Afro-American Undermines The Narrative Of Cabeza De Vaca, Ahmed Bellati May 2026

The Afro-American Undermines The Narrative Of Cabeza De Vaca, Ahmed Bellati

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

This article examines how Cabeza de Vaca’s report shaped a colonial narrative that minimized Estevanico’s role in his own survival and that of the three other survivors of the Narváez expedition. Although Estevanico was long marginalized in colonial accounts, later scholarship and literary works have restored attention to his distinctive role as an explorer. The article analyzes Abdelaziz Ait Saleh’s novel The Afro-American as a work that refutes colonial narratives, focusing especially on Cabeza de Vaca’s account and later reports by Marcos de Niza and Coronado. It shows how the novel exposes bias, falsehoods, and prejudice against Estevanico, also known …

Estevanico Or The Myth Of Recognition, Said Benmbarek May 2026

Estevanico Or The Myth Of Recognition, Said Benmbarek

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

This article asks whether narrating the story of Estevanico of Azemmour is a way of reconnecting with a lost time in which the Moroccan explorer was buried in oblivion and ignorance. Hamza Bendriss Ottmani’s The Son of the Sun is presented as a travel narrative about a figure who marked the age of the Great Discoveries but did not receive the recognition granted to explorers such as Christopher Columbus or Marco Polo. By placing Estevanico alongside mythical heroes such as Ulysses and Hercules, the narrative transforms his unusual destiny into a shared legend, giving the story an epic dimension in …

The Subaltern And The Decolonisation Of Colonial Discourse: A Study Of Laila Lalami's The Moor's Account, Driss El Housayny

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

This article examines how Laila Lalami's The Moor's Account revisits the story of Moroccan traveler Mustafa Al-Azmouri by following the development of his character and his interaction with the events of the novel. It highlights the novel's attempt to reveal the contradictions of Western colonial discourse by positioning Al-Azmouri as a recorder of Pánfilo de Narváez's expedition, free from the political and social constraints that shaped the official account. The article also studies individual and collective memory and the struggle over narrative authority between the margins and the center.

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

It focuses on the protagonist Estebanico, or Mustafa Azemmouri, and his struggle with values such as freedom, friendship, and integration. Organized around the historical context, the main events, freedom as a central theme, and the hero's moral dilemmas, the article shows how the novel represents the contradictions of survival and the pursuit of liberty.

Claiming Estevanico De Azamor In The Labyrinth Of Oriental/Western Identities, Khalid Chaouch May 2026

Claiming Estevanico De Azamor In The Labyrinth Of Oriental/Western Identities, Khalid Chaouch

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

This article discusses the multilayered identity of Estevanico, a sixteenth-century Moroccan enslaved from Morocco and one of four survivors of a Spanish expedition to America. His biography disrupts fixed ideas about culture and race, showing how he crossed linguistic, cultural, and geographical boundaries. The paper critiques the multiple claims made over his identity and argues that placing him within Orientalist or Occidentalist frameworks is futile. Estevanico’s life demonstrates the value of intercultural understanding, adaptability, dialogue, and acceptance beyond racial or identity claims.

Narrative Of A 16th-Century Conquest Of Elsewhere: Memory And Representations Of The Historical Character Mostafa Al-Azemmouri Or Estevanico, Hasnaa Mabrouk

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

This article explores a memory inscribed in the history of conquest and the great discoveries led by Spain in the sixteenth century. Long presented mainly through Cabeza de Vaca’s travel account, the memory of the Moroccan explorer Mostafa Al-Azemmouri, also known as Estevanico, reflects a Eurocentric vision that obscured his contribution to the historic encounter between cultures. Drawing on subaltern studies, postcolonial studies, and connected history, the article examines the recovery of denied and concealed identities and analyzes literary and artistic productions that reconfigure memories of the past, particularly through Kébir Ammi’s novel Les Vertus immorales and representations connected to …
