The Division of Student Affairs at UC Santa Barbara and the UCSB Multicultural Center present
Living Lives Of Resilient Love In A Time Of Hate
UCSB Multicultural Center’s 30th Anniversary Celebration
Say Her Name: Why Intersectionality Can’t Wait
Kimberlé Crenshaw, Professor at UCLA School of Law and Columbia School of Law, Co-Founder of the African American Policy Forum
Heightening tensions in the US over police killings of Black people have undermined confidence that the election of Barack Obama signaled a new era on race relations in the US. The more lasting legacy may be the one championed by late Justice Scalia whose legal philosophy currently underwrites the central tensions in equality law in the United States. Through a Critical Race Theory prism, Professor Crenshaw will discuss Black Lives Matter and SAY HER NAME as challenges to contemporary jurisprudence on race, and assess the new openings presented by current events. Co-sponsored by the Consortium for Black Studies in California
In the Fall of 2016, UCSB’s Division of Student Affairs launched the Resilient Love series in order to ask how we might respond ethically and honorably to hate and violence. The series features visiting artists and academics as it seeks to promote conversation and creative work that will forge a love-driven response to hate, hurt, and fear. Students, staff, faculty and community members are welcome to join.
