My first event as Interim Chair of African Studies is now available.

This recording of the roundtable, held on October 28, 2021, features scholars Camila Daniel, Meyby Ugueto-Ponce, and Sharún Gonzales Matute who recently edited a special issue for Conexión. Focusing on collective action in Latin America’s African Diaspora, these scholar-activists explore the numerous ways Black women mobilize resistance against racism in Brazil, Venezuela, and Peru. They were in conversation with Monica Rojas-Stewart, assistant director of African Studies/LACS and founder of the DE CAJóN Project and MÁS – Movimiento Afrolatino Seattle. This discussion was held bilingually (Spanish/English).
