dear all,

on an enchanted note for a change… last week i found the announcement of a regular series of retreats and conferences organized by the /Collegium of Black Women Philosophers.

if you haven’t heard, and wanted to find out more, see the following website.

to me, this not only signals the coming of age of black feminism within US academia, a scholarly achievement flying in the face of having been much embattled, discriminated against and ignored by way of racist/sexist hegemony, it also is a great encouragement for younger scholars outside the US to focus their energies on issues of epistemology, and a critique of white racist/sexist scientism in the classical disciplines.

i am hoping cooperative links may be established to caar, and mutual visits may occur…in this uplifted spirit

best greetings from bremen,

sabine
