Description
Speakers: Jade Kai & Jose Flores Sanchez
Grounded in the historical conditions of epidemics intertwined with state power, we examine the factors that contribute to women of color’s high proximity to contagion. We conclude that future studies focused on pandemics, labor, race, and gender must account for the ways in which colonialism positions feminized workers as fungible in structures of response to mass crises.
Jade Kai (they/them) is a mixed-race black trans feminist interdisciplinary writer, educator, and doctoral candidate in the department of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality studies at Stony Brook University. Their research centers transgender politics, spirituality, care work, and the relationship between gender and settler colonialism. These interests coincide with their work teaching queer studies courses and establishing anti-violence and safety resources on campus.
Jose Flores Sanchez (he/him) is a PhD Student and graduate instructor at the department of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. He is a researcher, writer, and educator in the fields and studies of disability, gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, migration, aesthetics, body and embodiment and settler-colonialism. Jose is also a diversity, equity, and inclusion advocate.
