Events At Home: In Honor of Women's History Month
Due to recent events, we have decided to make a change to our upcoming workshop. We will now co-host a two-part series with Professors Seon-Hye Moon and Malathi Iyengar

Tuesday, March 30, 2021 | 5:30-6:30pm PDT

Can Dolly Save Us?
Examining American Exceptionalism Through a Black Feminist Perspective
Tuesday, April 27, 2021 | 5:30-6:30pm PDT
The past few years have been Dolly years. What drives our current cultural fascination--and worship--of Dolly Parton? How can we read this alongside the realities of our #BlackLivesMatter and the #MeToo movements? Is there a connection? This talk will explore these questions through the work of Black feminist scholars.
