A reading list on black feminism

27 April 202128 March 2022 ~ The Librarians ~ Leave a comment

As part of a series of events on decolonising the curriculum, the Gender Centre partnered with the Black Conversations student initiative to host Heidi Safia Mirza’s talk on Decolonizing Pedagogies: “Black feminist reflections on gender, race, faith and seeking solidarity in the academy“.

Further to her inspiring talk, Heidi Safia Mirza started a reading list on black feminism in which you will find links and call numbers to access the resources in our collections.

People willing to watch the recording of Heidi Safia Mirza’s talk can contact the Gender Centre: gender@graduateinstitute.ch
