Black Feminist Symposium
Join Us for the 8th Annual Black Feminist Symposium!
This event will be held March 1, 2024 (8:30am-4:30pm) in Tangeman University Center's (TUC) Great Hall. Doors open at 8am. Admission is free and open to the public. Advance registration is suggested.
The Black Feminist Symposium is dedicated to celebrating Black feminist thought, scholarship, and activism both at UC and in the community. Each year, the event offers a rich array of voices through a full day of speakers, panels, workshops, and networking led by students, staff, and faculty, as well as community members from Greater Cincinnati.
This year’s theme, Revolutionary Sisterhood, asks participants to think about how we can reimagine sisterhood:
- Who is included/excluded, embraced/rejected as a sister?
- What constitutes being/becoming a sister?
- In what ways do we need to be accountable and provide support for sisters we may be overlooking (intentionally or unintentionally)?
Now more than ever there is a need for sisterhood that includes all of us and we understand that we are the ones responsible for creating it.
