We are delighted to announce our Department of African American and African Studies "First Fridays" Speaker Series and Book Celebration events. This year-long series is organized around the theme "New Directions in Black Studies" and features scholars writing on topics such as: black internationalism contributions to environmental justice; girlhood, labor, and migration in West Africa; gendered and racial discrimination in CA high-tech industries; health justice; and global histories of prison resistance, among many others. We will be kicking off the year with two events in October.
