20624 - 35 Years of Black Feminist Thought: A Conversation with Patricia Hill Collins

Description

In 1990, Patricia Hill Collins published the first edition of her groundbreaking book Black Feminist Thought. In the 35 years since the book’s initial publication, Collins’ call to sociologists to rethink the epistemological assumptions that ground our work has reshaped sociology of work, family, gender, race, and media. This plenary session, styled as a conversation between Collins and ASA President Adia Harvey Wingfield, will discuss how the book’s arguments apply today, insights that became clearer in retrospect, and future implications for sociology and sociologists.
