This talk explores what led me to leave a secure academic position, what it reveals about the shrinking space for dissent, and how we might relocate and preserve critical thought beyond the reach of institutional compromise and state-sponsored erasure. It draws from my forthcoming book, 
The End of Supplication
 (Bloomsbury Academic, 2025), a history of Black insurgency, and from my recent essay in 
Al Jazeera
, 
“Universities v Protest: A Letter from a Lesser Alumnus”
, about the student protests at Columbia University.
