Each year, Women and Gender Studies and African and African American Studies co-sponsor the Sojourner Truth Lecture Series in honor of Black/African Heritage Month and Women’s History Month.
Past speakers have included Ntosake Shange, Donna Brazile, bell hooks, Anita Hill, Patricia Hill Collins, Dorothy Roberts, Nekima Levy-Pounds, Janet Mock, and other notable women.
The Sojourner Truth lecture is designed to be a rich and varied experience. The speaker's visit is constructed around the lecture and another smaller event, such as a seminar with students or a conversation among women across racial/ethnic backgrounds.
This year's Sojourner Truth Lecture we will feature two speakers: Dr. Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor and Dr. Robin M. Boylorn—both scholars, activists, and award-winning authors.
