Mon, 10/24/2022 - 12:00pm Miller Learning Center, Registration Required (See below) This year marks the 40th anniversary of the publication of All the Women Are White, All the Blacks Are Men, But Some of Us Are Brave, an anthology that solidified Black Women's Studies as a field of inquiry centering the voices, experiences, and intellectual contributions of Black women. The book was co-edited by UGA emeritus professor, Dr. Patricia Bell-Scott. READING GROUP: In honor of this important anniversary, the Institute for Women’s Studies and the Institute for African American Studies are proud to sponsor a reading group to revisit (and for some of us, visit for the first time) selections from this revolutionizing text and other recent work highlighting its impact. Faculty, grad and undergraduate students, and community members are all welcome to participate. You must REGISTER to attend the reading group. Reading Group Details Date: Monday, October 24, 2022 Time: 12:00-1:30pm Location: Miller Learning Center A light lunch will be served. Books & readings provided upon registration.
