How can dreams for just futures take flight in universities with colonial legacies that celebrate diversity but silence academics of colour who seek to be more than “institutional ornaments” and “quiet achievers?” Emerging research on decolonising the university focuses on the struggle that hypervisible Black, Indigenous, Asian, Latinx, and minority ethnic/ethno-religious academics of colour engage in to negotiate the subtleties of institutional racism. In Australia, academics of colour who struggle to gain entry feel less vulnerable when they retreat to a place of quiet achievement and focus on advancing their careers. But such “quiet” places, which open up through White recognition and White responsibility, fail to unsettle brutal practices and a bitter politics of survival. This article therefore argues for geographies of fearlessness and generosity from sites of vulnerability in the Anglophone/Western university. It is inspired by feminist, Indigenous, and Black politics; personal experiences in Australian universities; and ethnographic research with ethnic/ethno-religious minority migrants, refugees, asylum seekers, and Indigenous peoples in Paris and Detroit, among other locations. The findings are significant in showing how the multiply situated “we” in the university learn how to “stay with the trouble” and see the shimmer of decolonial horizons of possibility.

在讲英语/西方大学的无所畏惧和慷慨的呼吸空间

拥有殖民遗产的大学如何实现公正未来的梦想，这些大学庆祝多样性，但让那些寻求不仅仅是“制度装饰品”和“安静的成就者”的有色人种学者保持沉默？关于大学非殖民化的新兴研究侧重于超显眼的黑人、土著、亚洲、拉丁裔和少数族裔/民族宗教有色人种学者为协商制度性种族主义的微妙之处而进行的斗争。在澳大利亚，难以进入的有色人种学者在撤退到一个安静成就的地方并专注于推进他们的职业生涯时，他们会感到不那么脆弱。但是，通过白人的认可和白人的责任而开放的这种“安静”的地方，并不能动摇残酷的做法和苦涩的生存政治。因此，本文从讲英语/西方大学的脆弱地点提出了无所畏惧和慷慨的地理。它的灵感来自女权主义、土著和黑人政治；在澳大利亚大学的个人经历；在巴黎和底特律等地与种族/民族宗教少数移民、难民、寻求庇护者和土著人民进行民族志研究。这些发现对于展示大学中处于多重地位的“我们”如何学习如何“忍受麻烦”并看到去殖民化视野的微光具有重要意义。巴黎和底特律等地的难民、寻求庇护者和原住民。这些发现对于展示大学中处于多重地位的“我们”如何学习如何“忍受麻烦”并看到去殖民化视野的微光具有重要意义。巴黎和底特律等地的难民、寻求庇护者和原住民。这些发现对于展示大学中处于多重地位的“我们”如何学习如何“忍受麻烦”并看到去殖民化视野的微光具有重要意义。
