Please help us share this invitation widely with colleagues, students, and friends who may be interested.
Where We Stand: Black Feminist Thought Across the Americas
In dialogue with MIT scholar Paloma Duong, Ribeiro will explore Black feminist thought across the Americas, connecting Brazil, the Caribbean, and broader global conversations on race, gender, and voice. The discussion will highlight her concept of lugar de fala (“standpoint”) and its relevance to contemporary struggles for equality.
A book signing will follow, and copies of Where We Stand will be available for purchase at the event ($20, cash only).
Location: Bush Room (10-105)
Date: March 30
Time: 5:00–6:30 PM
