S E1317: In Class with Carr, Ep. 317: Citizens or Subjects: Belonging and Certainty in an Age of Distraction
About this episode
This episode explores belonging and power through the lens of the Trump vs Barbara Birthright Citizenship case.
This week’s “In Class With Carr” uses the Trump vs Barbara Birthright Citizenship case to explore questions of belonging, obligation, and power. Using the Africana Studies framework, we discuss how certainty of belonging and investments in creating better societies shape our relationships to others. Oppressive systems thrive on distraction and sensory overload, weakening collective thought and consensus building. When visibility overtakes substance, those with narrow agendas of control are better able to impose their objectives on others. History reminds us that efforts to undermine belonging usually provoke resistance, as people ultimately challenge systems that deny their full participation and humanity.
