Session Type: Symposium
Black Girl Civics (BGC), captures nuanced ways in which Black girls and women conceive of civic identity and express civic action as influenced by their intersectional raced, gendered, and national identities. An upcoming edited volume entitled, Black Girl Civics: Expanding and Navigating the Boundaries of Civic Engagement (Logan & Mackey, in press), illustrates how everyday actions of Black girls and women in academia, community, family, and beyond, demonstrate the theory of BGC through praxis. This symposium features five of the chapters from the volume, each reflecting a different aspect of how Black girls and women participate in civic expression. The volume, and specific papers in this session, foreground Black women and girls making civic choices that are expansive and constantly negotiated.
