A Meeting at the Kitchen Table: POC Feminists Envisioning the Future





POC Caucus CFP SEWSA 2013



Calling on some of our People of Color feminist foremothers, the POC Caucus panel hopes to examine where we are as POC academics, cultural workers, and artists and where we’d like to be. As we look at the interracial POC dynamics that both propel and impede our activism/scholarship/art we realize that we must look to ourselves for answers as we struggle to keep our movements alive. We invite stories, questions, experiments, practices, and ideas from POC to encourage an intergenerational multi-racial conversation that supports the articulation of collective movement toward the world we want. This panel/roundtable is caucus space only with the goal of eroding barriers between POC organizers and academics. Possible topics include but are not limited to:





Anti-Black Racism in POC spaces

Pacific Islander visibility in API organizing and theory

Cultivating anti-imperial relationships to land and the university

Indigenous lead POC organizing

Afrolatin@ research and study

BDS and Anti- Apartheid struggle on campuses compare/contrast

Coalitions of color in Academia and beyond

How not to be tokenized in your department or movement

Andrea Smith’s “Three Pillars of White Supremacy” as movement/political curriculum

Strategic research projects for building POC collective solidarity

What the Academy does to POC

Community Accountability as Research Ethics

POC Food Justice and Scholarship

Digital Humanities and POC scholarly projects

Queer POC Visibility and Cultural Work
