Black Feminist Coalition at Yale: For the past year, a group of
black women have gathered in each other’s homes and built a community of sisterhood and support.
Sister Space-- The Black Feminist Coalition at Yale has been a place to practice
feminism, foster
relationships and build trust. We are an amalgam of theories, disciplines, and
opinions and our monthly meetings are as lively and intellectually engaging as they are needful
for the group. On
Friday, February 25th, we will open
our doors once again for membership in the hopes that the intimate world we have created can
expand and include
more black women in search of what we are offering--a place to meet once a month to consider
black women's lives, arts, histories, thoughts, and representations, to discuss issues of
political and personal
import, and to support one another's scholarly and professional endeavors.
The first anniversary
meeting of the Black Feminist Coalition will take place at
