state, from the vantage point of black women’s histories, testimonies,
experiences and creative works. Black
women’s fraught relationship to the state has often existed invisibly within
the intersectional axes of marginalization, and been submerged beneath the
specter of race, class, gender, and sexuality. Three interdisciplinary scholars will
gather to ponder all of the mechanisms of the prison system, from its long
historical trajectory to literary and visual representations. The event
promises to be a far-reaching discourse on the frameworks of restriction and
containment that impact black women and the lives they attempt to control.<span></span></span></p>

for change: from leading and inspiring a group of like-minded individuals to
collecting and using effective data, creating an overall message, and
communicating that message to the appropriate audiences. Workshops will be
run by experts in their respective fields. There is a small fee for Workshop
registration. Spaces are limited for the workshop and accordingly we ask that
all participants attend the entire day, along with the Friday Symposium. <span></span></span></p>
