Black Study in Education Lab @ PSU

Our lab is dedicated to the radical affirmation of Blackness as capacious. Grounded in the belief that Black study is a force of disruption, we seek to destabilize existing epistemological protocols, challenging how knowledge is produced and disseminated. By harnessing Black Study to detect and call forth otherwise possibilities, we refuse singularity, and easy solutions to the problematic of anti-Blackness, and embrace a dynamic, ever-evolving engagement with Black ideas. These commitments guide our rigorous engagement with Blackness and the Black condition, amplifying voices and experiences beyond institutional boundaries. Our ultimate aim is to deploy Black study as an abolitionist project—a site of critical analysis and imagining otherwise ways of knowing, doing, and being in the world—creating generative spaces for Black self-definition and Black futures.
