Black Studies

An anti-diet dance theater performance that uses an intersectional approach to understand anti-fatness in relation to capitalism, race, and patriarchy through an historic lens, current analysis, and personal experience. Using ensemble and solo dance, song, storytelling, research, and projections, this one-hour show is also about body liberation, pleasure, dancing alone in the mirror, eating mangoes, and shaking off that which binds us.

Performed by Laura Haines, Winnie Looby, Alex Heisler, Zoraya Hightower, Hadley Mueller, Rhonda Doonan, and Rachel Siegel.

Please join the departments of Black Studies, Gender, Sexuality and Feminist Studies, and Italian for a reception celebrating graduates in these disciplines.

Dr. Joseph Winters is a Professor of Religion and Africana Studies at Rutgers University-New Brunswick. His interests lie at the intersection of Black religious thought, Black studies, and critical theory. Professor Winters’ research examines the ways Black literature and aesthetics develop alternative configurations of the sacred, profanation, and secularity in response to the religious underpinnings of anti-black violence and coloniality.

Black Studies faculty would like to invite any interested students to swing by Coltrane Lounge to visit, have some refreshments, and learn more about the Black Studies department and the courses being offered this semester as well as next year.
