Max Cade Center room on the 3rd Floor of 3401 Walnut (next to Africana Studies)
The graduate students in our Black Rage: Race, Affect, and the Politics of Feeling course have been nothing short of extraordinary this semester. This Tuesday, they will be showcasing excerpts from their work in our one-day symposium. Please see the attached posters and the schedule below and feel free to spread the word and stop by the Max Cade Center room on the 3rd Floor of 3401 Walnut (next to Africana Studies).
The poster is based on Glen Ligon's commemoration and dissection of the cover of the landmark book, "Black Rage" (1968) by psychiatrists William H. Grier and Price M. Cobbs.
