#Strike4BlackLives #ShutDownAcademia strike called for Wednesday
Dear AIR-L colleagues, I haven't seen this on the mailing list -- forgive me if it was there and I missed it. In case you aren't aware a strike of all academic research and teaching labor has been called for tomorrow, Wednesday June 10 by a number of academics, groups, and associations (arxiv, *Nature*, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, ...). If you are directly participating in ending the global pandemic, COVID-19, you are not being asked to join the strike. More information is here: https://www.shutdownstem.com/ <https://www.particlesforjustice.org/> For insight and information about the reasons we need to transform academia, check out the trending #BlackInTheIvory tag on Twitter: https://twitter.com/search?q=%23Blackintheivory&src=typed_query There are a number of discipline-specific resources also such as On Being Black in Computing https://medium.com/@quincykbrown/on-being-black-in-computing-during-these-da... Or this from physics https://www.particlesforjustice.org/ I do not know of any "Internet Studies" resources written in the last week that speak to the present moment -- except perhaps the "A good way to respond to a query from a student about activism?" thread on this list? If you know of any statements/materials related to this #Strike4BlackLives and transforming Internet Studies similar to the above resources from other fields please share them here if you can. I would appreciate it. Christian
