Amalia Dache is an Afro-Cuban American scholar who is an Assistant Professor at Penn Graduate School of Education at University of Pennsylvania.Stephen John Quaye is an Associate Professor in the Higher Education and Student Affairs program at Ohio State University and is the past president of ACPA: College Student Educators International. His research focuses on engaging in dialogues about difficult issues, student and scholar activism, and strategies for healing from racial battle fatigue.Chris Linder is an Assistant Professor of Educational Leadership & Policy at the University of Utah, where she studies sexual violence and student activism through a power-conscious, historical lens.Keon M. McGuire is an Assistant Professor of Higher and Postsecondary Education at Arizona State University. Drawing from Africana frameworks, he examines how race, gender, and religion shape minoritized college students’ identities and the ways they experience and resist racism, sexism, and heteronormativity.

"Around the world, university students of color have tired of fraudulent political discourses of racialized normativity that have violently betrayed subaltern dreams of justice. In response, they are rising to resist and challenge the destructive impact and persistence of racialized and economic subjugation on their lives and their communities. Anchored in the critical power of a Black feminist tradition, Rise Up! Activism as Education engages this reality not only through incisive critique and analysis of contemporary issues but also by advancing a much-needed call to action—if we are to genuinely dismantle and reinvent the oppressive conditions of education and society that defy our liberation."—Antonia Darder, Leavey Presidential Endowed Chair of Ethics and Moral Leadership, Loyola Marymount University, and Distinguished Visiting Professor of Education, University of Johannesburg
