This panel brings together two of the leading scholars in Black Geographies of Europe to present on the relationship between their research and W.E.B. Du Bois's monumental text, Black Reconstruction:
Camilla Hawthorne, University of California Santa Cruz: "A Common History and a Common Disaster: Du Boisian Diasporic Politics in the Black Mediterranean"
Adam Elliott-Cooper, Queen Mary University of London: "Abolition Democracy Beyond Borders: Black Resistance to British Policing"

"Black Reconstruction as a Portal" is a year-long Sawyer Seminar at the University of California, Irvine that explores the global salience of visions of Black Reconstruction as a portal between the crisis that marks our current predicament and the freedom dreams of those who have taken to the streets insisting that another world is still possible.
This panel is the first in a series of four panels (Jan 18, Jan 25, Feb 8, Feb 15) that will explore the topic "Black Reconstruction Geographies." For more information, go to:
