Black Female Intellectuals Historical Contemporary

项目摘要

From the Black Lives Matter movement in the United States to the local and national activism over the scandal of the Windrush generation's citizenship in the United Kingdom, the black presence in the transatlantic dialogue is slowly beginning to gain increased visibility. Several black intellectuals have gained increasing prominence in the public arena and have consequently developed a platform for talking, writing, and thinking about black activism and what it means to be a black intellectual in the 21st century. Yet, the concept of the black intellectual - when it has been recognised at all - has historically been gendered as male. Black male intellectuals have often talked for and about black women, subsequently marginalising the significance of the black female intellectual both historically and in the contemporary arena. This network therefore brings together scholars, both early career (including PhD students) and more established academics, working on black female intellectuals in the black Atlantic including Africa, the Caribbean, Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The key point of the network is to share interdisciplinary understandings of black female intellectuals from both historical and contemporary perspectives thinking through different questions which will be used to frame the workshops.The first workshop will ask, as the central research question and the introductory session, how do we define "black intellectuals" as a concept? Does gender impact on this definition? What is it that the black female intellectual brings to the public debate and what forms are considered credible? The second workshop will consider how geographic and temporal parameters alter the form that understandings of the black female intellectuals take and the ways these differences are articulated. Biracial journalist and author Afua Hirsch has been invited to contribute to this workshop. A third workshop will question how issues of gender and class impact on understandings of black female intellectuals both as a form of activism (doing) and thinking (intellectualism). In particular, it will interrogate the differences between black male and black female intellectuals and explore the ways in which intersectionality functions more broadly within black intellectualism. Black activist and educator, Chardine taylor-Stone will contribute to this workshop.Leading on from this, a fourth workshop will consider the role of social media in shaping the experience of black female intellectuals in the contemporary world owing to the varied and multiple media resources available. Female activists from the Black Lives Matter movement based in the UK and Europe will be invited to share their experiences in addition to contributions from Gal-Dem, an online and print magazine written by women of colour. The workshops will also have a series of public lectures running alongside them located in public venues and pertaining to the individual theme of each workshop with invited speakers from across the interdisciplinary spectrum of the network.The network will apply for follow-on funding to host an international conference on black female intellectuals hosted by the University of East Anglia, bringing together practitioners, academics, and public policy groups namely the Runnymede Trust & the partnership project, History and Policy. The application for follow-on funding will also include a separate seminar event hosted by History and Policy using the project's Runnymede report as its focus and inviting interested policy makers including the Institute of Race Relations and the Black Training and Enterprise group, practitioners such as Chardine Taylor-Stone, journalists from both national and local media including Liv Little (Gal-Dem), Afua Hirsch (Guardian), and members of the network.

从美国的“黑人生命也是命”运动，到英国“疾风一代”公民身份丑闻引发的地方和国家激进主义，黑人在跨大西洋对话中的存在正慢慢开始获得越来越多的关注。一些黑人知识分子在公共舞台上的地位日益突出，并因此开发了一个谈论、写作和思考黑人行动主义以及成为 21 世纪黑人知识分子意味着什么的平台。然而，黑人知识分子的概念——当它得到承认时——在历史上一直被性别化为男性。黑人男性知识分子经常为黑人女性代言并谈论黑人女性，从而使黑人女性知识分子在历史和当代舞台上的重要性被边缘化。因此，这个网络汇集了学者，包括早期职业生涯（包括博士生）和更成熟的学者，研究非洲、加勒比海、欧洲、英国和美国等黑大西洋地区的黑人女性知识分子。该网络的重点是从历史和当代的角度分享对黑人女性知识分子的跨学科理解，思考不同的问题，这些问题将用于构建研讨会。第一个研讨会将问，作为中心研究问题和介绍性会议，我们如何定义“黑人知识分子”这个概念？性别会影响这个定义吗？黑人女性知识分子为公众辩论带来了什么？什么形式被认为是可信的？第二个研讨会将考虑地理和时间参数如何改变黑人女性知识分子的理解形式以及这些差异的表达方式。混血记者兼作家阿富阿·赫希 (Afua Hirsch) 应邀为本次研讨会做出贡献。第三次研讨会将探讨性别和阶级问题如何影响黑人女性知识分子作为行动主义（行动）和思考（理智主义）形式的理解。特别是，它将质疑黑人男性和黑人女性知识分子之间的差异，并探索交叉性在黑人知性主义中更广泛发挥作用的方式。黑人活动家和教育家查丁·泰勒-斯通将为本次研讨会做出贡献。在此基础上，第四次研讨会将考虑社交媒体在塑造当代世界黑人女性知识分子的经历方面的作用，因为可用的媒体资源多种多样。来自英国和欧洲“黑人生命也是命”运动的女性活动家将受邀分享她们的经验，此外还有由有色人种女性撰写的在线和印刷杂志 Gal-Dem 的贡献。研讨会还将在公共场所举办一系列公共讲座，这些讲座与每个研讨会的具体主题相关，邀请来自网络跨学科领域的演讲者。该网络将申请后续资金，主办由东安格利亚大学主办的关于黑人女性知识分子的国际会议，汇集从业者、学者和公共政策团体，即 Runnymede Trust 和合作伙伴关系项目，历史和政策。后续资金申请还将包括由历史与政策组织主办的单独研讨会活动，以该项目的《兰尼米德报告》为重点，并邀请感兴趣的政策制定者，包括种族关系研究所和黑人培训与企业团体、Chardine Taylor-Stone 等从业者、国家和地方媒体记者，包括 Liv Little (Gal-Dem)、Afua Hirsch (Guardian) 以及该网络的成员。
