We are excited to announce the launch of our new initiative, The School For Black Feminist Politics (SBFP), a Black feminist political education initiative and hub powered by Black Women Radicals. Established in 2020, the mission of SBFP is to empower Black Feminisms in Black Politics by expanding the field from transnational, intersectional, and multidisciplinary perspectives. The SBFP’s goal is to illuminate what has often been obscured and neglected in regards to our Black feminist histories, political memories, and productions, so that our past, present, and future understandings of Black feminist thought and behavior can be understood more fully and completely.
The central elements of the SBFP include:
Teach-Ins: We invite Black feminist artists, activists, creatives, and scholars to lead teach-ins on about topics, themes, and course subjects that expand the frame of reference of Black Politics. Invitees lead a 90-minute teach-in on a subject and/or expertise of their choice and curate reading lists to encourage further exploration of their course subject.
Community Conversations: Our Community Conversations are monthly community-engaged and informed events that concentrate on themes, politics, and more on and about Black women, gender non-conforming, and non-binary people.
Building Solidarities: We are dedicated to building solidarities with global Black feminist political organizations, initiatives, and struggles.
