Gender Studies and Black Studies support black students, faculty, staff, and alumni who are living through and with the racist incidents uncovered during the AMS debate on February 2, 2023.
We will continue, as we always have, to struggle against different kinds and types of racism and violence.
On March 27, 2023, 2pm-4pm, Bianca Beauchemin and Katherine McKittrick will be holding a teach-in, “Black Feminist Thought 101: Concepts, Grooves, and Key Thinkers.” Check here for details… Please join us!
