Partus and Property: Reading Black Mothering into the Black Radical Tradition

The Africana Studies Department invites the campus community to a lecture featuring Dr. Kris F. Sealey, Professor of Philosophy at Penn State University.

Situating Black mothering within the Black Radical Tradition, Dr. Sealey will explore how kinship and care practices resisted the destruction of Black social life under Atlantic slavery and its enduring aftermath. Her presentation considers Black mothering as a foundational practice of resistance and Black world-making.
