Rarely are Latinx and African-American spatial narratives read alongside each other, let alone as sites of pedagogy and learning. In the City of Philadelphia, we interpreted this racial grammar as spatial dimensions of our classroom learning through decolonial praxis. During the spring of 2020, a professor of education and 14 of her students explored three sites of resistance across Philadelphia: The MOVE Bombing site (1985), Girard College (racially desegregated in 1968), and El Centro de Oro (founded 1970s). The course, Urban Geography and Critical Higher Education framed the university and broadly modernity and its impact on our consciousness and imagination, as part of both domination and resistance, and we as scyborgs.
