Description
In honor of Black History Month, Dr. Abena Asare will deliver a talk entitled, “Fear and Angelic Troublemaking.”
“My intention is to share what Black Lives Matter means to me as a mother, an immigrant, a Pan-Africanist, a historian, a Suffolk County resident, and a resolute optimist. I will be talking about the transformative potential of Black Lives Matter in my own life, and also as a historical and political movement.”
Dr. Asare is Assistant Professor of Modern African Affairs in the Department of Africana Studies at Stony Brook University. She writes and teaches about how African political and social movements are transforming international human rights. Her forthcoming book Surviving Histories: The Possibility of Human Rights in Ghana’s Truth Commission explores the innovation of historical justice mechanisms in 21st century Africa.
