Lexington Studies in Critical Futures
This series is inspired by futurity, or the intentional reimagining and materializing of liberated futures where freedom from oppression, trauma, violence, and discrimination are realized. Amber Johnson and Lore/tta LeMaster facilitate a space of speculative-inquiry that enables activist-artist-scholars to communicatively constitute different ways of being and becoming in service of critical, liberatory futurities. This series is envisioned as a platform that empowers scholars across disciplines to imagine alternatives to the political, social, academic, and oppressive present via an imaginative approach to scholarship. This includes creating space for the use of creative methods such as autoethnography, which utilizes personal lived experience as data to inform theory, as well as space for developing and implementing new research methods that live and dwell in futurity. Books in the series, in the form of both monographs and edited volumes, will consider how theory can predict and sustain a future way of life that offers liberation and freedom as plausible outcomes, what outcomes may arise when academic works foster community healing and possibility models, and as a whole will press readers to reflect on what world we want to live in, how we are fighting to build it, and how we can do that in just ways.
