ABSTRACT

Black feminist sociology is also interdisciplinary and draws from multiple ways of knowing and understanding. Black feminist sociology brings together a diverse set of scholars and activists for a timely, accessible, and intellectually stimulating conversation regarding the foundations and state of black feminist sociological thought. Black feminist sociology theorizes about the value of everyday life and all that it entails, including imagination, health and well-being, gender expressions, sexualities, religiosity, political engagement, scholarship, restoration and more. Being transparent about truths entails both care and clarity; a sort of bringing to the table talk that directly cares for people that includes directly challenging them when needed. Truth and transparency mean listening to and trusting in ourselves, our team, our supporters, and our communities. A goal of a Black feminist sociological project, then, must be to have a far reach; to spread knowledge and critique as well as spread joy and uplift, and to do so through multilateral pathways.
