EDITOR | Shamaila M. is a future social worker whose practice is rooted in an anti-oppressive, intersectional, and anti-colonial framework. “I recognize the importance of accessing anti-colonial and anti-imperalist literature, especially when considering the reality of rising censorship in our communities. It is therefore imperative for us to reject the notion that colonialism is a thing of the past rather than an ongoing reality of survival and resistance.”
EDITOR | Madhura (they/them) is a lover of cats, wooden trinkets, thinking about sociolinguistics, and deciding to read in the park but getting distracted by a pigeon. Their life’s purpose seems to be loudly rejecting the enforcement of colonial “standard” variations of language, instead encouraging translanguaging (and transgenderism). They are currently on unceded Pawtucket lands in “Boston.”
