In 2024-25, our final year, Insurgent Intersections explores the theme “Healing from Global Anti-Blackness.” We will go live with an in-person interactive symposium on February 28, 2025, as well as other events. This theme returns us to our initial concern with the responses to the protests of 2020 and the larger problem of anti-Blackness. We wanted to challenge the corporate statements and poorly thought out DEI programs from that year to, instead, draw from the strategies and knowledge crafted by Black people over centuries of navigating a world designed to commodify and consume Black life.
