In celebration of bell hooks’ birthday, Dr OmiSoore Dryden, the James R. Johnston Endowed Chair in Black Canadian Studies (Faculty of Medicine), is hosting a teach-in featuring speakers from across Canada, including El Jones, Damini, Rachel Zellars, and Beverly Bain. Please join us on Monday, September 26th, 2022, from 5:00-6:30 PM AT to honour bell hooks’ legacy and influence. The speakers will share the impact of hooks' work on their own careers, research and activism, and answer questions including:

How do you aspire to further integrate and engage with bell hooks’ teachings, tenets, works in your own day-to-day lives, practice, research and scholarship?

What is novel, revolutionary, special about hooks' work?

What do we learn from bell as Black women, Black queer women, women of colour?

A teach-in is an informal discussion that is practical, participatory, and action-oriented. Teach-ins offer an important and unique pedagogical approach sharing knowledge, promoting dialogue, and inspiring action.

The bell hooks teach-in will be virtual, taking place on Zoom.
