Staging Migrations Goes to the CUNY Graduate Center!

In my latest event for Staging Migrations, I offered a lecture at the CUNY Graduate Center on Thursday, October 30th. This event was sponsored by The Institute for Research on the African Diaspora in the Americas and the Caribbean (IRADAC).

A clip from the lecture. I'm sharing an excerpt from chapter one, which features the audacious Ida B. Wells. 

My African American Studies colleague from CityTech Dr. Dionne Bennett served as the respondent for my lecture.

Chatting with a Graduate Center PhD candidate during the book signing. I received such thoughtful questions that afternoon.

My upcoming CityTech events include a lecture with Human Services Professor Benjamin Shepard and San Francisco-based activist James Tracy on November 20th: http://facultycommons.citytech.cuny.edu/index.php/event/readings-community-migration-displacement/ and a book signing on December 1st sponsored by the Black Women's Networking Committee and the A&S Dean's Office: http://facultycommons.citytech.cuny.edu/index.php/event/book-signing-marta-effinger-crichlow/.
