Here’s another that you could probably send out separately – maybe tomorrow? Also a good example of something that we’d still need to send separately because we’re just receiving this notification now, with the lecture on Friday!

Over the course of the last two years, we have taken this series from Africa to America and from slavery to contemporary crises of civil rights, black bodies, public health, and justice.

We hope that you can join us via Zoom for our final lecture.

November 5, 2021
4:30-6:00PM

Caroline Randall Williams, Writer-in-residence in the Department of Medicine, Health, and Society,  Vanderbilt University,

"Monumental Bodies - How Blackness Tells the American Story."

Caroline Randall Williams is a poet, a writer of fiction, co-author of a cookbook that is far more than a cookbook, a sought-after public speaker and commentator, a social justice activist, an essayist, and more.  Much of her work looks at black bodies in ways other than through diagnoses.  Her recent, remarkable NYT essay on black bodies as Confederate Monuments (6/26/20) reminded readers, during a particularly contentious period of local and national decision making, to think bigger, deeper thoughts.  Her first book of poetry, Lucy Negro, Redux thoroughly casts William Shakespeare’s “Dark Lady” (in sonnets 127-154) in ways that take us from late-Elizabethan England to right here, right now.  Williams’s work appears in influential scholarly journals including The Iowa Review and The Massachusetts Review as well as numerous popular publications.  Professor Williams received her undergraduate degree from Harvard University (English Studies) and her MFA from the University of Mississippi (Poetry).
