Greeting Faculty and Staff!

 

On April 20 at 6:00 pm the Black Studies Colloquium will delve into a conversation about Black Studies focusing on the work of our esteemed colleague Zachariah Mampilly. In this round table discussion, we will consider a diasporic framing of Black Studies.  This conversation will build from a section (pp. 25-34) of Mampilly’s article, “Decolonizing the United States: Lessons from Africa.” Ufahamu: A Journal of African Studies, 38(3), (2015) linked here.

Check out Professor Mampilly’s related work in his brilliant TED talk “How Protest is Redefining Democracy around the World”
