The Department of History, the Africana Studies Program and the Stone Center for Latin American Studies & the Newcomb Institute invite you to an evening exploring Black Global Feminism with Dr. Dalea Bean. This public talk will explore the intersections between Caribbean Feminist Theorising and Jamaican women’s experiences during World Wars I and II. Importantly, the talk will be grounded by a reflexive positioning of Dr Dalea Bean’s life as Afro Caribbean feminist praxis within the context of “relearnings” about herself, while on a journey into historical explorations of a largely unknown facet of Jamaica’s past. It explores the contributions of extraordinary women to the distant conflicts and unearths hidden meanings behind such involvement, as well as the ripple effects on these women’s lived experiences and on Jamaican womanhood. Through careful analyses of race, class, sex and gender, Dr Bean offers considerations about conflict studies as lenses through which to view ourselves. Dr Dalea Bean is a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) at the Institute for Gender and Development Studies, University of the West Indies in Jamaica.
