The Council for Women's Concerns is pleased to announce that the annual Women of Color Luncheon will take place virtually Oct. 16 from 1-2 p.m. The keynote speaker will be Maria del Guadalupe Davidson, Woodburn Professor of Women's and Gender Studies and director and academic coordinator for social justice affairs in the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences.
Davidson’s main field of research is Black women's studies and she is primarily known for her analysis of Black women's agency, critiques of Global South feminism and her attempts to put continental philosophy in dialogue with diasporic black feminist theory. She is the author of “Black Women, Agency, and the New Black Feminism” and “The Rhetoric of Race: Toward a Revolutionary Construction of Black Identity.”
The celebration will consist of virtual events throughout the day to better accommodate schedules.

In place of selling tickets, the Women of Color committee is accepting donations that will be used to support one of its strategic initiatives- to enrich the lives of student women of color.
