In Search of Afrocentric Queerness w/ Feminista Jones

While a powerful, liberating theoretical framework, one of the biggest limitations in Afrocentric scholarship is the pervasive queer/transmisia (phobia) and erasure of sexuality scholarship. Africology, as a discipline/field of study, can only function as the liberating scholarship that it is when it is inclusive of ALL people of the African Diaspora. This workshop explores the work being done to pull LGBTQ+ people from the margins and to center sexuality in the Afrocentric paradigm. The conversation will present concrete ideas about how we can enhance Afrocentric education by expanding to include LGBTQ+ and sexuality studies.
