The pre-conference also includes:
• Workshops on Black feminist archiving and youth organizing
• A teach-in on Sudan
• A community panel centering ongoing struggles in San Francisco
• A Black Queer walking tour to close out the day!
We will have a forum that will bring together leading scholars to discuss attacks on Black Studies, facism and the university, and the deep and committed legacy of organizing as Black Geographies scholars.
Join us for the BGSG Pre-Conference on March 16! If you’re arriving early for #AAG, we hope you’ll spend the day with us in community. 📌
