AAS Book Talk and Conversation with Dr. Beverly Guy-Sheftall
The Program in African American Studies will be hosting a book talk and public conversation with Dr. Beverly Guy-Sheftall. Dr. Sheftall is a trailblazing Black feminist scholar, whose passion for the many communities she encompasses is evident in her work and friendships she has built over the last 55 years . She is the visionary architect of The Womens Research and Resource Center at Spelman College, the first for an HBCU. Since its founding in 1981, she has served as the Anna Julia Cooper Professor of Womens Studies, exposing her students and the broader public to the intellectual contributions of Black feminists throughout history. At the age of sixteen, Dr. Guy-Sheftall began her matriculation at Spelman College where she majored in English and minored in secondary education. Upon graduating with honors, she attended Wellesley College for a fifth year of study. In 1968, she began pursuing her Masters Degree in English at Atlanta University. A year later Dr. Guy-Sheftall began teaching at Alabama State University in the Department of English. But it was her return to Spelman in 1971 that ignited her true mission to disrupt the silences surrounding Black womens interconnected experiences. Within the traditional confines of Spelman that had once educated her, she has pushed boundaries, demanded space for Black feminist thought, and laid the foundation for future generations of radical scholarship. Dr. Shanna Greene Benjamin, Reynolds Professor of African American Studies at Wake Forest University, will lead the conversation with Dr. Sheftall. A reception and book signing will follow. Books will be available for purchase at the event.
