Aoki Center Presents: Justin Leroy “Ferguson, Gaza, Standing Rock: Histories of Settler Colonialism and Anti-Blackness” 2/13/2018

“Ferguson, Gaza, Standing Rock: Histories of Settler Colonialism and Anti-Blackness” Surveying displays of solidarity among black, Palestinian, and indigenous activists, this talk argues that to understand similarities among Ferguson, Gaza, and Standing Rock, we should consider how settler colonial projects have always relied upon a simultaneous logic of indigenous erasure and anti-blackness. The Interdisciplinary Seminar Series You’re cordially invited to join us for the Aoki Center’s Spring 2018 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series. You’ll have the opportunity to learn from, and discuss with, interdisciplinary scholars who will present their research and works in progress which are inspired by, and build upon, critical race studies.
