This conversation will highlight the development of Black Studies at Queen’s University. The discussion will highlight the field's history and ongoing focus on interdisciplinarity and freedom-making, while also attending to how activities, rather than simply the enumeration of Black people, sustain our work at Queen’s and elsewhere.
