Methodology of the Repressed in Faculty Hiring: Upcycling Coloniality into Research Production for Social Justice and Change

This essay documents forms in which repressed supremacy—with the purpose to ultimately push out and exclude people of color professors—is enacted. My endurance within toxic spaces is the result of channeling Tlazolteotl and putting my Coyolxauhqui together, referring to the act of constantly reinventing myself by turning excrement into life and rejoining the pieces of my experience. I also share a successful teaching, research, and service agenda of resistance that fulfills requirements as it is simultaneously defiant. By referring to covert acts of violence as the methodology of the repressed, my goal is to expose and promote their collective eradication.
