Living This Bridge Called Our Backs: An Intergenerational Dialogue by Women of Color
Mon, April 16, 4:05 to 6:05pm, New York Hilton Midtown, Floor: Fourth Floor, New York SuiteSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
This intergenerational interactive symposium is grounded in the monumental text, This Bridge Called Our Backs (Moraga and Anzaldua, 1981). It highlights the embodied, lived and intergenerational realities of women of color (WOC) as we negotiate multiple struggles for sovereignty and freedom in public education. This interactive session seeks to create a place and space for (re)constructing new and needed possibilities for WOC in the important struggles of public education through marshaling the relevance of this groundbreaking work. Further, this session seeks to (re)member themes raised in that cross-ethnic gathering of radical women of color as a needed foundation for feminist and activist work on behalf of public education and liberation today.
