Complicating the Complexities of “Staying in a Child’s Place”: Understanding the Nuance of Black Girlhood Studies

Sat, April 13, 1:15 to 2:45pm, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, Room 110A

Session Type: Paper Session

Abstract

Being a girl is individually and collectively produced and reproduced, always shifting, neither static nor linear. Albeit the ways we position childhood innocence or lack thereof for Black girls has been marred by institutional and systemic violence and dehumanization. Which calls into question: “What does it mean for a Black girl to be a girl?” outside of the tropes of white supremacy
