What’s Next at BCRW, Plus Videos from our Events

A NOTE FROM OUR DIRECTOR:

Thank you to everyone who joined BCRW at our lectures and conversations, our salon, and the annual Scholar and Feminist Conference on feminist sustainabilities. Your thoughtful questions, insights, and contributions generated critical dialogues and planted seeds for ongoing work here at BCRW and beyond.

Though the semester has wound down, BCRW has several exciting projects underway this summer:

• Launching the BCRW Activist Institute, a new iteration of BCRW’s scholar-activist collaborations.
• A new partnership with artist Micah Bazant and #TransLiberationTuesday.
• Organizing the second year of the Harlem Semester, a joint initiative of BCRW and the Department of Africana Studies.
• Ongoing digitization of BCRW’s archives in collaboration with librarians in the Barnard Archives and Special Collections.
• A forthcoming issue of The Scholar and Feminist Online on engagements with technoscience.

I hope you will read on to learn more about these projects and to watch recordings of the powerful events we hosted this past semester.

With appreciation,

Tina Campt
Director, Barnard Center for Research on Women

CENTER NEWS

PARTNERSHIPS

#TransLiberationTuesday

BCRW has partnered with artist Micah Bazant on #TransLiberationTuesday, a multimedia project dedicated to supporting, celebrating, and honoring trans people in life, not just in memoriam, focusing on the resilience and accomplishments of trans women, trans femmes, and trans people of color.

This week, #TransLiberationTuesday coordinated with Survived and Punished to support Ky Peterson, a black trans man who is currently incarcerated for defending himself against transphobic violence, and to demand his release.

Please join us by signing the petition demanding that Georgia Governor Nathan Deal exonerate Ky Peterson.

Organized by the Barnard Center for Research on Women and the Department of Africana Studies, the Harlem Semester pairs faculty research and instruction with venerated Harlem institutions to teach the neighborhood’s rich cultural and political legacy.
