As part of a year of programming on Care for the Future, the Center for Research in Feminist, Queer, and Transgender Studies is hosting a series of events to commemorate the fortieth anniversary of two landmark publications for BIPOC queer feminist thought, This Bridge Called My Back (1981) and But Some of Us Are Brave (1982). Both volumes' insights on the mutual formation of gender, sexuality, race, class, ability, environment, slavery, and colonialism are testaments to the centrality of care in foundational queer feminist writing. Speakers will consider the influence of these volumes to their own work on racialized gender and sexuality.
