In 1981, Black lesbian educator, writer, and activist, Audre Lorde said: “Those of us who stand outside the circle of this society’s definition of acceptable…know that survival is not an academic skill…” Focusing on the work and activism of Audre Lorde, Dr. Kaila Story (Associate Professor, Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies) will discuss Lorde’s legacy of using our collective differences as a springboard for societal change and explore Lorde’s transgressive strategy, as a means for us to connect with one another across community lines. Register for this Fast Class at www.LFPL.org/MyLibraryU Dr. Kaila Story's research examines the intersections of race and sexuality, with special attention to Black feminism, Black lesbians, and Black queer identity. Her current research explores the intersections of race, class, and sexuality in identity performance, mass media, body politics, and the like. She holds the Audre Lorde Chair in Race, Class, Gender, and Sexuality Studies.
