becoming undisciplined is a collaborative starting point for a larger intellectual community and project we hope to build. Black scholars have long troubled the anti-Black historical, political, and intellectual foundations of the university. The zine takes its title from Christina Sharpe’s call for Black scholars to “become undisciplined,” given that academic legibility often requires being “disciplined into thinking through and along lines that reinscribe our own annihilation” (In the Wake, 13). We hope to connect to a community of graduate students and independent scholars interested in engaging and extending the work of Black visionaries who dodge, evade, improvise around, and funk with architectures of Black suffering — and the many mechanisms that (re)establish and uphold them.
