About Dr. Michael Schulze-Oechtering:
Dr. Michael Schulze-Oechtering is an Ethnic Studies-trained historian who specializes in the study of comparative/relational racialization, and anti-racist and decolonial social movements. The political and intellectual questions Michael asks were nurtured during his time as a participant and later co-facilitator of the Tyree Scott Freedom School, a week-long political education program for Seattle youth. Michael draws upon his past experiences as a youth organizer to develop a research and teaching agenda that examines how racialized subjects of U.S. Empire have both questioned and crossed racial boundaries.
