‘Thinking Beyond Your Discipline’…

Black Studies lays at the intersection of multiple different disciplines drawing from the spectrum of knowledge to produce scholarship that can improve the world. Going beyond typically disciplinary boundaries is utterly essential to research that has liberation at its core and Black Studies provides a blueprint for doing that vital work. The talk will explore the  radical possibilities of going beyond your discipline and breaking down the walls of the ivory tower.
