Black Studies Book Club Series
Every semester, the Department of Africana Studies hosts a two-day Black Studies Book Club event, focused on a recently published text that has shifted the conversation in the discipline.
Each installment of the book club includes a public lecture by the book's author, which is free and open to the Tulane and New Orleans communities—and includes free copies of the book purchased from the Community Book Center, a small neighborhood business in the city's 7th Ward. The following day, the club holds a smaller, more intimate "book-club style" conversation, limited by advance registration but engineered to bring together some of the diverse constituencies of the program—including Tulane students, faculty and staff, community members, and students and faculty from local schools and universities.
