SUMMARY:Angela Davis: Legacies in the Making
DESCRIPTION:Recognizing the Academic\, Activist and Cultural Interventions of a Contemporary Visionary\nFor almost four decades\, Angela Y. Davis’s scholarship and activism has defined the meaning and practice of being a public intellectual and has radically transformed many sites of knowledge production\, including the positioning of the U.S. academy as a site of intervention and social transformation. Few professors have had such a broad impact in their fields of expertise or on the world in their lifetimes. This gathering of her former students\, in conversation with scholars nationally\, maps the impact of her vision on issues such as democratic theory\, philosophy\, Marxism\, cultural studies/popular culture\, social policy\, race\, class\, and feminisms. Professor Davis has also trained students as activist scholars for almost four decades in both university systems in California. We thus convene this conference to examine the poetics and politics of Professor Davis’s pedagogy in California over the past forty years (1969-2009) and to consider how her role as an activist-scholar-teacher bridges the academy/community divide and dismantles the false dichotomy of theory/praxis. \nOne focus of the event will be to highlight cultural production that has emerged in conversation with the writing and theorizing that Angela Davis has facilitated and inspired. We are inviting Professor Davis’ colleagues\, friends\, and family to provide video messages recognizing her considerable on-going contributions to academic and activist work; these will be compiled into a montage to be screened at the symposium. The event\, as a whole\, will be recorded\, and we plan to liaise with the California Documentary Fund to translate those records into a multi-media resource for education. There will also be an evening of music and poetry in honor of Professor Davis and her contributions to cultural “legacies in the making.” \nSaturday\, October 31\, 2009\nHumanities Lecture Hall \n9:00 am – Breakfast \n9:15 am – Screening The Fire This Time\, a trailer of a film by Blair Doroshwalther \n9:45 am – Welcome \n10:00 am – Panel 1: Voices of Resistance\nFacilitator: Rashad Shabazz\, George Washington Henderson Post Doctoral Fellow\, Geography\, University of Vermont \nW.
