Theorizing Blackness: Histories, Movements and Ethics of Care

On the 70th anniversary of Brown v. The Board of Education, we will gather on the shorelines of the historic Virginia Key Beach to reconsider the intersecting legacies of racial segregation in educational, labor, and leisure spaces in Miami. Held within a three-act structure, our gathering will feature embodied performances, film viewings, and academic call-and-responses from a range of disciplinary and generational perspectives.
