Recent events across U.S. college campuses-among them, the ousting of Mizzou President Tim Wolfe,1 the campaign to remove Woodrow Wilson's name from parts of Princeton University,2 and pleas to defend minority students against potentially offensive expressions of free speech, such as the donning of culturally insensitive Halloween costumes at Yale University3-amount to a critical moment in our politics. These face-to-face confrontations have laid bare the persistence of yet active forces of racism at both institutional and individual levels. As these events unfold in the context of an extremely polarized and divisive political climate,4 we are torn asunder from each other and our bodies hang, suspended, in the abysses that ensue in the unraveling of communication and the keeling of our erstwhile communities.
