BLACK STUDIES SUMMER SEMINAR

This year the Black Studies Summer Seminar will take place as a hybrid online/in-person event. Meeting daily for closed sessions during the week of June 6th, we will also have three public events highlighting major thinkers in the field of Black Studies. 

Each year we collaborate with a dynamic cross-section of artists, creatives, scholars and academics to produce a range of experiences and discussions that centre Black Canada in conversation with the African diaspora.

We practice Black Study. The seminar is designed to engage the field of Black Studies while continually being mindful of the benefits and limits of the institutionalization of the field. This means we are generous in our interpretations of Black life and its study. Here, we move through art and scholarship at various frequencies in nuanced and attentive ways.
