S2E12: A Candid Dialogue About Black Women’s Knowledge Production and The Politics of Citation
This episode of Cite Black Women podcast features a candid dialogue about Black Women’s knowledge production and the politics of citation. On Friday, February 26th, 2021, scholars convened virtually at UC Berkeley. The lineup included CBW collective members Dr. Whitney N. L. Pirtle, Associate Professor of Sociology at UC Merced and Imani A. Wadud, PhD candidate in American Studies at the University of Kansas. The featured panelists were Derrika Hunt, Erin M. Kerrison, Frances Roberts-Gregory, Kerby Lynch, Nicole Denise Ramsey, and Reelaviolette Botts-Ward. Caleb Dawson organized the event and it was presented by the Black Graduate Student Association in collaboration with African American Student Development and The Office of Graduate Diversity. The conversation is both powerful and insightful, bringing together multiple points of Black feminist departure to creatively weave a series of alternative ethics, praxes, personal narratives, and radical philosophies around the urgency of Black citation and its future.
