Direct Action: Jennifer Grubbs on “Ecoliberation: Reimagining Resistance and the Green Scare”
May 31, 2022Dr. Jennifer Grubbs, Assistant Professor of Anthropology and Prison Justice Initiative convener at Antioch College, has recently complete her first, sole-authored book, Ecoliberation: Reimagining Resistance and the Green Scare which has be published last year by McGill-Queen’s University Press. An overview of this books is as follows:
“Disenchanted by indirect forms of protest designed to work within existing systems of corporate and state power, animal and earth liberation activists have turned instead to direct action. In this detailed ethnographic account Jennifer Grubbs takes the reader inside the complicated, intricate world of these powerful and controversial interventions, nuancing the harrowing realities of political repression with the inspiring, clever ways that activists resist. Grubbs draws on her personal experiences within the movement to offer a thoughtful and intersectional analysis. Tracing the strategies of liberationist activists as they grapple with doing activism under extreme repression, Ecoliberation challenges ubiquitous frameworks that position protestors as either good or bad by showing how activists playfully and confrontationally enact radical social change. Nearly a decade in the making, the book looks back at the notorious period of repression called the Green Scare and draws contemporary connections to the creep of fascism under President Donald Trump. In stories that are simultaneously heartbreaking, riddled with tension and contradiction, and inspiring, Grubbs proves that whether or not the revolution is televised, it will be spectacular.”

The Only Sporting Event: Delaney Schlesinger-Devlin ’22 and S. Quinn Ritzhaupt ’23 with Camelot 2022
May 11, 2022The Camelot Gran Prix Bike Race returned to the Horseshoe for the second year in a row this Spring! On May 7th at 2:00pm, hopeful bikers once again gathered to prove themselves in one of the most grueling (and perhaps only) sporting events Antioch College allows.
What is Camelot?
Camelot is an Antioch tradition dating back to the 60s. To simply put it: it’s a bike race! And it’s 100 laps. And also people will be throwing Camelot Juice at the riders.
What is Camelot Juice?
Camelot has had any iterations in its day, but nowadays Camelot Juice is anything that’s completely vegan and compostable! We provided some, but it’s always best to bring your own!
How can I participate?
This event is open to the Antioch Community. Folks can sign up to ride in the race. For those who don’t want to get as messy you can be a “thrower”, simply arrive on the Horseshoe and wear clothes you don’t mind getting messy!
Special thanks to S. Quinn Ritzhaupt ’23 and Delaney Schlesinger-Devlin ’22 for organizing the event!
A dedication to Lola Roxanne’s (’22) Tooth. You used to chew chips, now you are chipped.

Back at it Again: Delaney S-D ’22 as Co-Op Media Creator
Apr 18, 2022Hello All of Antioch College. Antioch Engaged once again has a student to support its efforts in showcasing the social practice and professional engagement of the Antioch community! My name is Delaney Schlesinger-Devlin and I have recently been hired as a student blog editor for Antioch Engaged under the Antioch Works program.
I am currently a fourth year student who is majoring in Psychology of Social Behavior with a focus in French Language and Culture. Besides working in the Co-Op department, I serve as Co-Chair of Community Council and work on campus events, like Camelot! I love to read and go for walks in the Glen Helen. It is my last quarter on campus and I look forward to starting my MSW this fall.
Along with Richard Kraince, Luisa Bieri, and Beth Bridgeman, I will be working to edit and publish the recent student co-op stories, as well as creating more media like Co-Op Swap 2.0 and staff and faculty spotlights.
I hope to showcase the amazing work our campus is doing. Please feel free to let me know if you have any suggestions regarding Antioch Engaged or if you know of any interesting experiences that Antioch faculty, staff and students are having!
