Celebrating Black History Month
The Black Feminist Symposium
February 22nd
Our one-day conference will focus on Black feminist activism, leadership, and research. At the 3rd Annual Black Feminist Symposium, we want to uplift, amplify, historicize, and recognize all Black women* (cis, trans, & non-binary) who continue to show up and show out, creating new forms of everyday activism and movements. This year's theme is The Revolution in Real Time and our primary goal for this event is to provide students, faculty, staff, and the greater Cincinnati community with an opportunity to engage with each other about race, gender, and the diverse meanings of black womanhood, feminism, and social movements through individual presentations, panel discussions, think tanks, creative workshops and more.
We invite you to participate in the revolution by attending Black Feminist Symposium. RSVP on CampusLink today!
