Who we are:
Director: Lisbeth A. Berbary is a Tkaranto/Toronto based scholar whose work and organizing engages with liberatory theorypractices rooted in decolonial, anti-imperial, abolitionist, and anti-capitalist traditions. Her scholarship towards community building, collaborative knowledge mobilization, and interrelational inquiry has been represented through creative analytic practices such as poetry, comic, screenplay, art-based workshops, and zine creations, at times working alongside local artists. Lisbeth has organized towards harm reduction for peoples exploited within American prisons, maximum security youth detention centers, addiction treatment centers, and long-term care facilities. She has also organized with queer/trans*, disability justice, and Black radical solidarity movements, and has participated in and developed curriculum for political education through solidarity networks and autonomous universities for political education.
Everyone is welcome
From students to community members and everyone in between, our Lab offerings are open to all who share our commitment to theorypracticing for liberatory change.
Whether you attend a single offering or show up to them all, our Lab desires to become an undercommons (Harney & Moten, 2013) for those of us activated by mutual comradeship (Burden-Stelly, 2022), collective organizing, and political education in alignment with those heritages of resistance modeled through liberation movements across the globe.
