My talk titled, "Mapping Otherwise Elsewhere: Black Geographies and the Study of Education" interrogated Ellison's notion of the "inner eye" and discussed ways to retrain our vision to more fully see Black humanity and Black peoples' sense of place.

I had the incredible privilege of delivering the first lecture for the "Black Geographies: Place, Power, and Possibility" webinar series hosted by the Black Study in Education Lab in the College of Education at Penn State University. @pennstateuniv.bsky.social
