Diasporic Worldmaking: Feminist Activism and Art in Boston’s Haitian Community
Greetings from the Wellesley College French House! As we continue our 40th anniversary lecture series, we invite you to join us and the Africana Studies department in welcoming Régine Jean-Charles for her talk titled “Diasporic Worldmaking: Feminist Activism and Art in Boston’s Haitian Community.”
Régine Michelle Jean-Charles is the Dean’s Professor of Culture and Social Justice as well as Director of Africana Studies at Northeastern University. A Black feminist literary scholar, she works at the intersections of race, gender and justice from a global perspective. She is the author of three books: Conflict Bodies: The Politics of Rape Representation in the Francophone Imaginary (2014), The Trumpet of Conscience Today (2021), and Looking for Other Worlds: Black Feminism and Haitian Fiction (2022). Dr. Jean-Charles is currently at work on two book projects—The Rape Culture Syllabus, under contract with Columbia University Press, and Tifi at the Center: Holding Haitian Girlhood.
This event will be held on Tuesday, March 25th at 5pm in the French House (33 Dover Road, Wellesley, MA) and will be in English. Refreshments will be served beforehand. We hope you will join us as we continue to celebrate our 40th anniversary with what promises to be an engaging talk.
