Racism and Vulnerabilities in Institutions

This talk will use data from Black women academics to look at injury to feelings as part of the institutional affective life of racism and what positions it asks those it makes vulnerable to occupy.

The discussion will then extend to then thinking about how injury to feelings can form the basis of Black feminist action.

Prior to attending this seminar it is suggested that attendees read the following two articles by Dr Tate:

• Ethnic and Racial Studies, Volume 37, Issue 13, 2014 ... Racial affective economies, disalienation and 'race made ordinary'
• I can’t quite put my finger on it’: Racism's touch’, Ethnicities, 16.1 (2016), 68-85

Dr Shirley Tate is Associate Professor in Race and Culture and Director of the Centre for Ethnicity and Racism in the School of Sociology and Social Policy at the University of Leeds.
