About This Project

Global South Solidarities: Interactive Pedagogy makes openly accessible the complete materials—syllabi, resources, weekly assignments, and student work (shared with excited permission)—for five graduate and undergraduate English courses taught and designed by Bibhushana Poudyal at Washington State University. The project extends the mission of the Global South Solidarities Anarchive (GSS), an open-access digital humanities initiative that amplifies voices and knowledges silenced by colonial, heteropatriarchal, and capitalist frameworks.

"GSS: Interactive Pedagogy" transforms the anarchive from a space of preservation into a dynamic, living pedagogy. By opening the complete framework of these courses, we model teaching as an act of solidarity. The project's interactivity is twofold: materials are designed for global remix and adaptation, breaking proprietary barriers, while the inclusion of student work positions students as co-creators of knowledge, creating a recursive loop where classroom inquiry enriches the anarchive and fuels future teaching.

The courses themselves interrogate power across technological, archival, and rhetorical domains. Graduate seminars examine AI as a biopolitical tool of engineered oppression; probe the rhetoricity of technologies and archives as sites for anti-oppressive intervention; and center antiracist pedagogies that actively dismantle racism. Undergraduate courses trace the rhetorics of racism to expose how discourse constructs racial hierarchies, while engaging antiracist rhetorics and feminist worldmaking to foreground practices of resistance and the imaginative labor of building just futures. Together, these courses move from critique to construction, from analyzing oppression to enacting solidarity through liberatory imaginaries. This project embodies open scholarship by treating the entire academic lifecycle—from syllabus design to student output—as a living commons, cultivating a transnational community bound to the justice and anti-oppression at the heart of Global South solidarities.

Recognizing that reliable internet access and bandwidth are not universal, we offer printable and downloadable versions of all materials upon request. Please contact us to request these alternate formats at GlobalSouthSolidarities[@]gmail[dot]com.

Digital Storytelling & Global South Solidarities Fellowship Program

Launched in 2025–2026 as part of the Digital Storytelling and Global South Solidarities project, supported by a New Faculty Seed Grant at Washington State University. The fellowship is a year-long program designed for South Asian scholars committed to decolonial, feminist, queer, and anticolonial knowledge production.

The inaugural cohort brought together South Asian scholars from Washington State University, across the United States, and around the world — graduate students, early-career researchers, and community-engaged intellectuals whose work has long been marginalized within conventional academic structures. The fellowship operates on a simple but radical premise: that the scholars most qualified to document and theorize Global South struggles are often the ones least supported by academic institutions. Fellows receive modest compensation for their contributions — an acknowledgment that intellectual labor, especially when it emerges from minoritized and diasporic communities, deserves material recognition. Over the course of the year, fellows develop multimodal, public-facing projects housed on the open-access Global South Solidarities anarchive website. These projects take many forms: digital narratives, curated archival materials, pedagogical resources, multimedia essays, and creative works that refuse the boundaries between scholarship and art, between theory and practice.
