Critical Racial Anti-Colonial Study Co-Lab

The CRACS Co-Lab is a collective feminist intellectual hub for faculty and graduate students whose research focuses on global colonial and racial power and anti-colonial transformation.

Land Acknowledgement

The CRACS Co-Lab at New York University acknowledges with respect the Lenape nation, whose traditional homelands NYU now occupies. We recognize the longstanding significance of these territories for Lenape nations past and present. We acknowledge that we work in a city with the largest urban Native population in the United States. Even as we work to increase the awareness of historical and ongoing colonial and racial violence, Indigenous exclusion and erasure, we acknowledge the effect of that legacy in educational institutions, at NYU, and in the world. We are committed to work foregrounding Indigenous history, culture, sovereignty, survivance and to the meaningful inclusion of as well as respect and support for Indigenous voices and participation, in allyship with Native Americans, First Nations, Povos Originarios, and Pueblos Originarios of the Americas as well as exploited and marginalized Indigenous populations across the globe.
