#AAGDC, part 1

Each year at AAGs, part of the notes I make are readings I need to revisit. Many times, those notes get forgotten in the rush of getting home & settling back into dissertation writing, parenting, working, living. This year, I wanted to capture them all & figure out where to go with them. I think this list shows a few things: the productive overlap between decolonial, (Black) feminist, and multispecies; the amount of information we take in at AAGs (for me, during 3 sessions a day Thursday through Sunday); the fact that there’s always more reading (& that I can’t read all of this while getting my dissertation done, because this list will lead to another list). I have more thoughts on AAGs, which I’m hoping to share here in the coming weeks, but in the chance your reading list also gets forgotten in the shuffle, I wanted to share this. May it jog some memories or send you into that glorious “flow state,” tumbling through a wormhole of citations & chasing the ideas for your next paper. May it also, for me personally, be an inch toward a stronger politics of citations–a weeding out of voices we’ve heard & amplifying of voices we need. This list isn’t as robust in that way as it could be, & I welcome your additions. Share your own lists, too! Let’s make the work we did last week memorable & visible.
