#unarchivingBlackness<https://ideasandsociety.ucr.edu/unarchiving-blackness/>

Join us on Th, 2/23 @ 12:30PM PST (in INTS 1113 or on Zoom) for our distinguished lecture from Dr. Ashanté Reese: "What Remains? Black Ecologies, Speculative Fieldnotes, and the Building of New Worlds." She asks: what changes if our ethnographic or research practices are reconceptualized as simultaneously being archival practices that capture disappearing Black ecologies in real time before (or as?) they become traces of themselves?

Dr. Ashanté Reese is assistant professor of African and African Diaspora Studies at The University of Texas at Austin. She earned a PhD in Anthropology from American University and a bachelors of arts in History with a minor in African American studies from Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. Broadly speaking, Dr. Reese works at the intersection of critical food studies and Black geographies, examining the ways Black people produce and navigate food-related spaces despite anti-Blackness. Animated by the question, who and what survives?, much of Dr. Reese’s work has focused on the everyday strategies Black people employ while navigating inequity. Her first book, Black Food Geographies: Race, Self-Reliance, and Food Access in Washington, D.C<https://uncpress.org/book/9781469651507/black-food-geographies/>., takes up these themes through an ethnographic exploration of anti-Blackness and food access. Black Food Geographies won the 2020 Best Monograph Award from the Association for the Study of Food and Society.


A recent essay, "Tarry with Me: Reclaiming Sweetness in an Anti-Black World<https://oxfordamerican.org/magazine/issue-112-spring-2021/tarry-with-me>" appeared in the Oxford American.
