Event details of Public Seminar | AfroSwedish Digital Feminism
Date
20 April 2023
Time
16:00 -17:00
Room
REC B2.05

Based on my forthcoming book, Identity and Kinship: AfroSwedish Places of Belonging, in this seminar I discuss Swedish online Black/Women of Color feminist spaces and the far-reaching role of social media sites in making the AfroSwedish condition visible to the public and advancing AfroSwedish coalitional identity formation and community building. Additionally, I engage with the ways in which the social media initiatives I discuss represent powerful, brave, critical, disruptive, contested, and at times disorienting projects of hope that attest to a belief in the possibility of another world, and a belief in the power of young AfroSwedish women, and all women of color, to take up space, and to demand change.
