This year's event, on Thursday, April 4th in the evening, will feature Imani Perry, an interdisciplinary scholar and writer giving fresh context to history and the cultural expressions forged by Black Americans in the face of injustice. Her lecture is titled Race & the Dis/Abling State. Beginning with her experience of studying race and the law as someone who lives with chronic disease disabilities, Professor Perry will offer thoughts on how the law not only consistently fails those who live with disabilities but has historically functioned as a disabling force in Black American life. She invites a consideration of how a racial justice-oriented disability jurisprudence might be pursued given our fraught history.
ACS and NLG will host Professor Khaled Beydoun for a discussion on free speech on college campuses, specifically regarding student groups Jewish Voices for Peace and Students for Justice in Palestine.
