Plac(e)ing Black Futures II:

Working Theories

Washington, D.C.

A sequel to our spring graduate symposium, Working Theories seeks to continue our inquiry into the “where” of Black futurity with the questions: What theories might we put to work toward future places of Black existence? What restorative ecological practices might we excavate from the past or elevate from the present that will better support Black life and living in times and places yet to come? Where, we ask, will Black futures take place? Our speakers– to include both emergent and established thought and community leaders– will explore visionary theories for Black placemaking and share their work as practitioners on the ground. The symposium will take place on the campus of Georgetown University. See below for the schedule of events and featured speakers. Questions? Contact us at sawyerseminar@georgetown.edu.
