Black Geographies, Black Life, and Black Method: A Conversation with Katherine McKittrick

Join us for the return of Intersections! This year we begin with an open conversation with Professor Katherine McKittrick, on her provocations over the years to the discipline of geography and her invitation for geographers to take up more creative and rigorous anti-colonial methodologies in our quests to engage with the violence of the past without reproducing it. Katherine McKittrick is Professor of Gender Studies, and Geography and Planning at Queen’s University and Canada Research Chair in Black Studies.  She researches in the areas of Black studies, anti-colonial studies, and critical-creative methodologies. She is the author of Demonic Grounds: Black Women and the Cartographies of Struggle, editor of Sylvia Wynter: On Being Human as Praxis, and co-editor, with Clyde Woods, Black Geographies and the Politics of Place. Her most recent monograph, Dear Science and Other Stories is an exploration of Black methodologies.
