This article is focused on a critical and oppositional approach to diversity work on college campuses--what we call “anti-diversity” work—that builds on and operationalizes various principles of black feminist thought articulated by the Combahee River Collective and other black feminist thinkers. At our small, Midwestern, residential, liberal arts college, we are “doing” anti-diversity work through a new faculty/staff development initiative, a project we developed and are currently implementing, called the Decolonizing Pedagogies Project (DPP). This project draws on concepts like intersectionality and coalition building, along with centering our inquiry on the experiences and theorizing of marginalized bodies and thought, to create decolonial locations that make space for “alternative ways of producing and validating knowledge itself.” The DPP demands that those who engage with the project do deep self reflection on the ways whiteness shapes and holds them to rigid understandings of diversity and inclusion that, as a result, preclude sustained institutional change. Using an intersectional lens, the foundational assumption of this approach is that “black women are inherently valuable” and that the liberation of black women would mean the liberation of everyone, because all systems of oppression would be toppled in the process.

Combahee 在反多元化工作中的作用

这篇文章的重点是对大学校园多样性工作的批判性和对立性方法——我们称之为“反多样性”工作——它建立在 Combahee River Collective 和其他黑人女权主义思想家阐明的黑人女权主义思想的各种原则之上并加以实施. 在我们中西部的小型住宿式文理学院，我们正在通过一项新的教职员工发展计划“开展”反多样性工作，该计划是我们开发并目前正在实施的项目，称为非殖民化教学项目 (DPP)。该项目借鉴了交叉性和联盟建设等概念，并将我们的调查集中在边缘化身体和思想的经验和理论化上，以创造非殖民化地点，为“生产和验证知识本身的替代方式”腾出空间。”民进党要求参与该项目的人对白人塑造的方式进行深刻的自我反思，并让他们对多样性和包容性有严格的理解，从而排除持续的制度变革。从交叉角度来看，这种方法的基本假设是“黑人女性天生具有价值”，黑人女性的解放意味着每个人的解放，因为在此过程中所有压迫制度都将被推翻。
