THE WORK OF ART: Intersections of Race, Sexuality, Gender, and Disability.

May 2017, EMORY UNIVERSITY

During this two-day interdisciplinary conference, sixty-five academics, artists, activists, and hundreds of attendees gathered to discuss art’s contribution to combat social injustices on the intersection of race, sex, gender, and disability.

Together with Holly Lewis, I was one of the main organizers of this event.
