Black Lives and Liberation

Black Lives Matter. What began as a Twitter hashtag after the 2013 acquittal of George Zimmerman for the murder of Trayvon Martin has since become a widely recognized rallying cry for Black being and resistance. The series aims are twofold: 1) to explore social justice and activism by Black individuals and communities throughout history to the present, including the Black Lives Matter movement and the evolving ways it is being articulated and practiced across the African Diaspora; and 2) to examine everyday life and culture, rectifying well-worn “histories” that have excluded or denied the contributions of Black individuals and communities or recast them as entirely white endeavors. Projects will draw from a range of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences and will first and foremost be informed by “peopled” analyses, focusing on everyday actors and community folks.



Key Themes of the Series

  • Abolitionism
  • Race, gender, and sexuality
  • Intersectionality and Black liberation
  • Religion and secularism
  • Black radicalism and Black political thought
  • Popular culture and hip hop
  • Anti-colonialism and anti-imperialism
  • Haitian history, literature, and culture
