Syracuse Symposium continues its yearlong look at “Belonging” with a keynote event featuring a trio of acclaimed black feminist scholars. On Monday, November 27, Johnnetta Betsch Cole, Paula J. Giddings and Beverly Guy-Sheftall will participate in a panel discussion titled “Black Feminists and the Transformation of American Public Life” from 6-7:30 p.m. in the Joyce Hergenhan Auditorium, 140 Newhouse 3.
Each presenter is a distinguished teacher, scholar, activist and administrator.

Mellon Foundation and a principal consultant with Cook Ross. Giddings is the Elizabeth A. Woodson 1922 Professor of Africana Studies at Smith College. Guy-Sheftall is on the faculty of Spelman, where she is the Anna Julia Cooper Professor of Women’s Studies and founding director of the Women’s Research and Resource Center (WRRC).
