Our exciting Women’s and Gender Studies event, a talk with Dr. Kimberly Juanita Brown, Inaugural Director of the Institute for Black Intellectual and Cultural Life, and Associate Professor of English and Creative Writing at Dartmouth College, is this Thursday, September 26, at 5:30 PM, in Ruane 105!
In her lecture, titled “Blurred Repertoires: Race, Gender, and the Civil Rights of Photography,” Dr. Brown will draw from her new book, “Mortevivum: Photography and the Politics of the Visual” (MIT Press, 2024) to examine Black women’s visual representation in photographs from the civil rights movement, and to illuminate how the imagistic history of the movement portrays itself as a masculine endeavor devoid of women’s participation.
