 Spring 2021 Critical Conversations series is organized around two themes: 
 celebrating the life and legacy of Dr. Barbara T. Christian, an architect 
 of Black feminist criticism, a founding member of our Department and a 
 gifted writer and teacher; and exploring the concept of “abolition 
 democracy,” thinking creatively and collaboratively about the practice of 
 abolition as necessary to building life-affirming institutions and robust 
 democratic structures. Through both themes, we ask: what are the lessons of 
 the Black Feminist, Black Radical, and Black intellectual traditions for 
 our moment and what is the role of Black Studies in building more just 
 futures?\n\nWe are joined in conversation by celebrated novelist, poet, and 
 activist Alice Walker who will reflect on freedom, Black feminism/womanism, 
 and writing in community. This event is the second in our series 
 celebrating the life and legacy of Dr. Barbara T. Christian\n\nDarieck 
 Scott and Ra Malika Imhotep will moderate a Q & A session with Alice Walker 
 taking your questions.
