The Forum is pleased to announce When We Do See Color: Ending Global Racism, a follow-on to the popular and insightful “Transnational Blackness” webinar held in July 2020. This 5-part monthly webinar series intentionally centers Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), their experiences, and their scholarship to familiarize international educators with issues of transnational, regional, and local racism around the world and the work being done to dismantle it.
In each conversation, our host and series curator Dr. Keshia Abraham of the Abraham Consulting Agency and elected member of the Forum Council, will be joined by two colleagues representing diverse and international perspectives to explore topics and themes related to colorism, intersectionality, language and linguistic racism, and more.
Building on the title of the Black Feminist classic, All the Women Are White, All the Blacks Are Men, But Some of Us Are Brave, in this session we consider cross-cultural intersections of race, class and gender in education abroad. What are some of the ways in which women of color confront and dismantle global racism through international education? How do gender and sexuality impact how we view movement, agency and opportunity with regard to education abroad? How do we use our agency in relation to race, class and gender to end global racism? We will be joined by world renowned feminist scholar-activists, Beverly Guy Sheftall, Founding Director of the Women’s Research and Resource Center at Spelman College, and Siga Fatima Jagne Jallow, Commissioner of Social and Women’s Affairs for the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
