Call for Applications: Climate Change, Decolonization, and Global Blackness Summer 2024 Workshop

Deadline: Friday, March 15, 2024 for Brown University students; Duke student application cycle now closed

Directed by Macarena Gómez-Barris (Brown University) and Michaeline Crichlow (Duke University), the inaugural Climate Change, Decolonization, and Global Blackness Workshop will involve ten graduate students (five from Duke; five from Brown) along with seven additional faculty members drawn from several disciplines and interests, including those who have already contributed to the CCDGB lab in the Entanglement Series.

We anticipate conversations among invited scholars and accepted graduate students that will seek to further explore articulations of the workshop’s three elements, namely Climate Change, Decolonization, and Global Blackness. Participants will be expected to read from texts representing the humanities, interpretative social sciences, and various visual and artistic media. At the end of the workshop participants will develop prospective research projects as well as syllabi that evolve from their reflections on the workshop’s themes of inquiry. It is hoped that the project will form a pedagogical node in a network of similar projects already extant and forthcoming in the world.
