Upcoming Teach-In: “Becoming Otherwise: Black Trans Feminist Imagination as Spiritual and Political Practice” by Nala Simone Toussaint

Event Info: This teach-in explores Black trans feminist imagination as a vital spiritual and political practice for survival, resistance, and becoming under conditions of anti-Blackness and authoritarianism. Drawing from Black feminist thought, spiritual traditions, and lived movement wisdom, the session centers imagination as a survival technology—one that allows Black trans and gender-expansive people to make meaning, build futures, and practice freedom in the present. Participants will be invited to reflect on imagination as praxis, grounding theory in embodied, ancestral, and communal ways of knowing.

Date: Wednesday, April 1st
Time: 6:30 PM EST

The State of Brazilian Politics – A Black Feminist Perspective: An IG Live with Dr. Tassiana Oliveira 

Event Info: The state of Brazilian politics is at the center of global discourse, given the recent fascist invasion of the Brazilian Presidential Palace and Supreme Court by supporters of the ex-president, Jair Bolsonaro; Lula's narrow win for presidency against Bolsonaro; and the current presidential cabinet's agenda to emphasize a “new Brazil” by centering communities that were overlooked and marginalized during Bolsonaro’s administration. 

Our featured guest, political scientist and scholar of Brazilian Studies Dr. Tassiana Oliveira, will offer critical insights on the historical, current, and future state of Brazilian politics from a Black feminist perspective.
