Black Feminism and Abolition on Contested Lands
February 8, 2024 @ 3:30 pm - 5:30 pm
“Unsettled: Black Feminism and Abolition on Contested Lands”
What does it mean to organize for Black liberation on contested lands within an ongoing U.S. settler colonial project? Drawing upon over twenty years of grassroots organizing, education, and scholarship, this talk will discuss the historical and conceptual stakes of Black feminist organizing in this moment.
Charlene A. Carruthers (she/her) is a writer, filmmaker, community organizer, and Black Studies PhD Candidate at Northwestern University. A practitioner of telling more complete stories, her work interrogates historical conjunctures of Black freedom-making post-emancipation and decolonial revolution, Black governance, and Black feminist abolitionist geographies. She is author of _Unapologetic: A Black, Queer and Feminist Mandate for Radical Movements_ (Beacon Press, 2018), and she served as the executive director of BYP 100.
Charlene Carruthers will be coming to campus to give a talk on Thursday February 8 from 3:30-4:30pm in the Alumni House (Oakley Family Reception Room), followed by a reception. The event is sponsored by the Linda Arnold Carlisle Professorship and the Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program.https://www.charlenecarruthers.com/
