Impacting Culture: Germany's African Diaspora Lecture Series - "Rethinking Black Feminist Solidarity in Germany"
Tiffany Florvil, Associate Professor of History at the University of New Mexico, will give the first lecture in our "Impacting Culture: Germany's African Diaspora" lecture series.
This paper analyzes Black German women’s participation in the international Cross-Cultural Black Women’s Studies Summer Institute conferences. Black German women, such as Marion Kraft, Helga Emde, and Katharina Oguntoye, brought the 1991 Institute to reunified Germany. These women's involvement with the institute represented their commitment to forge a global Black feminist solidarity with Women of Color and other allies. In the process, they advanced a particular type of gendered political Blackness.
Dr. Florvil will give the first lecture in the Impacting Culture: Germany's African Diaspora series which is co-sponsored by the Department of African and African-American Studies.
This lecture is free and open to the public.
