In conjunction with the Black Cultural Center, the Program in Black Studies, the Department of Educational Studies, the Department of English Literature, the Department of History, and the President’s Fund for Racial Justice, the Aydelotte Foundation is pleased to invite you to a conversation with Imani Perry (Princeton University) and Jarvis Givens (Harvard University) on their collaborative project, The Black Teacher Archives. The conversation will be moderated by two members of the Aydelotte Foundation’s advisory board, Chris Dowdy (Paul Quinn College) and Laura Heffernan (University of North Florida).

This event is part of the Aydelotte Foundation’s project on “Race, Racism, and the Liberal Arts.” This project assembles work on underrepresented histories of how Black people, institutions, and ideas have existed outside of, pushed against, or reshaped from within the ideas and institutions of the liberal arts. It also investigates and recounts curricular, epistemological, and institutional genealogies that challenge how or whether the term liberal arts has silenced histories and ways of knowing developed by Black people, indigenous people, and people of color.
