A Black Waiting (with Katherine McKittrick)
/Katherine McKittrick, Professor of Gender Studies at Queens University and author of Demonic Grounds: Black Women and The Cartographies of Struggle, joins the WBI show to discuss her interdisciplinary research attending to the links between theories of liberation, Black studies, and cultural production. How do we nurture patience or sitting with ideas for a long time when the need to understand or react to what’s happening in the street feels so immediate and visceral? How do we sustain the struggle against white supremacy and deal with the unknowability of the moment?
Hosts: J. Khadijah Abdurahman and Tao Leigh Goffe
Music: Drew Lewis
