ABSTRACT This essay suggests that colleges and universities incorporate settler technologies, as discursive, mathematical, spatial tools, that further settler colonialism in our economic moment. These tools become advantageous when the territories of the campus and the city desire to merge residential and economic interests. My writing derives from a plenary address at the 2019 Rhetoric Society of America Project in Power, Place, and Publics at the University of Nevada, Reno (RSA Project), which was rooted in four kinds of evidence: walking the city as a vested stranger, reading closely a compendium of planning documents, speaking and listening to local residents and officials as well as the RSA Project participants, and then going home. My motive for this work has less to do with accusing the University of Nevada, Reno or the city of Reno of settler coloniality and more with comprehending how settler technologies promote economic models that favor “innovation” and “entrepreneurialism” so popular in U.S. academia and elsewhere. Whenever we travel, we may come across these tools, but when that happens, we might also note our cosmopolitan entitlements. If so, then what we can learn as visitors will be more forcefully applied at our campuses and homelands.

里诺未建的城市

摘要本文认为,大学和大学将定居者技术作为一种话语,数学和空间工具,在我们的经济时刻进一步加剧了定居者的殖民主义。当校园和城市的领土希望合并居住和经济利益时,这些工具将变得非常有利。我的文章来自内华达大学里诺分校2019年美国修辞学会权力,地方和公众项目的全体会议(RSA项目),该讲话植根于四种证据:作为既得的陌生人走遍城市,仔细阅读一份计划文件纲要,对当地居民和官员以及RSA Project参与者进行演讲和倾听,然后回家。我从事这项工作的动机与指责内华达大学,里诺(Reno)或里诺市(Reno)拥有定居者的殖民地权,并且更多地理解了定居者技术如何促进有利于在美国学术界和其他地方如此流行的“创新”和“企业家精神”的经济模式。每当我们旅行时,我们可能会遇到这些工具,但是当这种情况发生时,我们可能还会注意到我们的国际化权利。如果是这样的话,那么我们作为访客可以学到的东西将在我们的校园和家园中得到更强有力的应用。
