About this talk
This one-day conference will celebrate the changing nature of diverse spaces for resistance in the activist lives of Black women. It will showcase the legacy of radical spaces for resistance across the African Diaspora. Where are these spaces in contemporary social life and how are such spaces impacting Black women in higher education? The conference will bring together researchers, poets, artists, community champions and activist scholars across intergenerational, transnational spaces of activism. It will share good research practice and address the value of Black women's collaboration in autoethnographic spaces for resistance. Themes include: A. Black diasporic womanist spaces for supporting global communities; B. Creative Arts spaces of culture and Womanist prose; C. Spaces for Black feminist activism and leadership inside higher education research; D. The Digital Space: Black women's online spaces for resistance; E. Solidarity and resistance: Borders, policing, asylum, immigration, refugee status and womanist spaces for resistance; F. Sexuality, equality and Black feminist spaces for solidarity; G. Environmental justice and Womanist spaces for resistance; H. Black feminisms in health, disability and counselling centres of excellence; I. Trade Union movements and Black workers in activist spaces for change. Conference format: In person and online. Presentations will be 15 minutes long with additional time for questions.
