Featuring University of Rochester (UoR) PhD student Micah Williams in conversation with colleagues from UoR and Jamie-Lukas Campbell, Queen’s University Belfast
What does it mean to be Black, and how far does its parameters reach? Is the mantle of Blackness enough to share solidarity with one another? If so (or if not), how does that affect our history and our liberation? We will have a candid conversation on retaining and championing one’s values and culture in a nation that is multitudinous, yet homogenizing. Through this, the discussion will also include reflections on how we as individuals operate on American/euro-centric soil to how we connect together as a whole while acknowledging space, distance, culture and nationality.
