University Roundtable - The SoulFolk Collective: Black Study as Freedom Practice   (back)
 
Description:
In this roundtable talk, members of The SoulFolk Collective will share key findings from their community-based oral history project about the spaces that Black Madison residents reported as Black-affirming. They will explore how a Black geographies theoretical framework allows them to see how Black folks have co-constructed space to have meaning and a sense of belonging in Madison, revealing the freedom practices and spatial knowledge that challenge dominant narratives of exclusion and erasure. They will end with a look forward to their work on designing the SoulFolk Saturday school, a program for high school students in the spirit of the Freedom School movement.
