In this Teach-in we will explore persistent patterns of refusals in proclaimed anti-racist pedagogy in traditionally white disciplines of Eighteenth-Century Studies, Romanticism, and Nineteenth-Century Studies.

• What are persisting points of obscurity in praxis aiming to be fully anti-racist?

• What is in danger of being ‘redacted’ (Christina Sharpe) as white fields incorporate Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian and decolonial studies?

• What must be continually divested in anti-racist pedagogical praxis?
