%X This article is a call to embrace and work towards a specific form of intellectual activism in business schools. Based on the inspiring work of Professor Patricia Hill Collins and other Black feminist and post-colonial scholars, intellectual activism is here defined as ¡®the myriad ways in which people place the power of their ideas in service to social justice¡¯. This article calls for and delineates a positive response to the current crisis by identifying key features and areas of work that scholars can engage with in ¡®walking the talk¡¯ of critical work in business schools
