Disruptive Narratives

Today in part one of a two-part episode, Dr. Lewis discusses their experiences in academia. Dr. Moten is a Black Feminist Historian who specializes in 20th Century United States and Women’s/Gender History with a specialization in African American Women’s History. She recently authored the book Continually Working, which tells the stories of Black working women who resisted employment inequality in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, from the 1940s to the 1970s.

Show Notes

Disruptive Narratives highlight people impacted by history and systemic processes of neglect and disinvestment but may not have a seat at the table and may not feel seen. This is space for people radically re-imagining a path forward but not necessarily a space for those who are unpersuaded by the need for a better world where Black futures matter. We are focused on sharing perspectives that are often unshared or unheard because they challenge what we think we know. In this program, guests are the experts of their own reality.
