The event will begin on the evening of Friday, March 15 with the book launch of Black Writing Matters with conference guest Whitney French. The event continues Saturday with a full day of panels and workshops on the 9th floor of the Hall Building. The day will conclude with a keynote lecture by Black feminist philosopher and abolitionist Joy James, whose books include Shadowboxing: Representations of Black Feminist PoliticsSeeking the Beloved Community: A Feminist Race Reader, and The Angela Davis Reader.
