I have been doing @jessicajlee's #alliesinthelandscape reading group. This month we read the stunning Trace by @LauretSavoy. Here are the questions from today (google doc) https://twitter.com/jessicajlee/status/1276953767137742849
... and you can join the conversation on this thread: https://twitter.com/jessicajlee/status/1276938423069220865?s=20
Here are the questions from two weeks ago (also on Trace, and an excerpt from “Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People About Race” by Reni Eddo-Lodge): https://twitter.com/jessicajlee/status/1271885890823106560?s=20 and the thread: https://twitter.com/jessicajlee/status/1271865501959032833?s=20
July's texts are The Grassling by Elizabeth-Jane Burnett and Jennifer Neal’s article “Notes on White Guilt”. The session will be on July 25th on @jessicajlee's page and under the #alliesinthelandscape hashtag
Thanks to @jessicajlee for creating this group and asking questions that get us to think deeply about how we (white people) are complicit in, and have benefitted from, ongoing racism, as well as thinking about how we can do better to change things.
I'm also hugely grateful to have been alerted to @LauretSavoy's beautiful book, Trace. I'm still only 75% through but it has already enriched & transformed how I'm thinking about my current project. Highly recommended for anyone interested in #landscape or #environmentaljustice
"Perhaps the sphere of ethical relevancy has expanded outward among 'educated people' to embrace race, gender, and class, in theory if not in practice. But who lives in theory, or benefits from lip service?" - Trace, by Lauret Savoy, p. 41.
