DBLAC launches Spring 2022 Reading Series

2022 Reading Series

Our Reading Series is a DBLAC Signature program that seeks to advance our mission to create public spaces that promote undisciplined communication, not limited to any disciplinary area of study, through the use of Black feminist and communal practices.The Reading Series provides digital engagement with texts that speak to and across conversations that might complement and/or supplement the work of the Black graduate students within our network. In efforts toward heightened visibility and flexible accessibility, DBLAC provides avenues for engagement through the Reading Series via: 

1. fee-free access to texts for participants through partnerships with publishers;

2. question-based Twitter chats;

3. a 60-minute graduate student moderated webinar conversation around the text (which is 

open to the broader public via Zoom), and

4. digital archiving of webinar recordings for ongoing teaching and learning.

 

DBLAC's Reading Series is supported by the University of Pittsburgh's Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences, School of Education's Center for Urban Education, and the English department's Composition program. This semester we'll engage 6 fabulous texts.
