Omar Ibn Said was 37 years old when he was taken from his West African home and transported to Charleston, South Carolina, as a slave in the 1800s. Now, his one-of-a-kind autobiographical manuscript has been translated from its original Arabic and housed at the Library of Congress, where it “annihilates” the conventional narrative of African slaves as uneducated and uncultured. Amna Nawaz reports.

During this program, Layli Maparyan, Ph.D., and Sheron Fraser-Burgess, Ph.D., converse about the evolution of womanism and the importance of the African/African-descended worldview in higher education and global problem solving today.

Womanism as an intellectual, social, and cultural movement grew out of Black women’s recognition of a culturally distinct approach to thinking about social problem solving in the 1970s. In the context of mainstream feminism, which was, at that time, largely driven by white middle class women’s ideas, goals, and agenda, Black women in the U.S. and beyond started to articulate an alternative praxis that came to be known as womanism, after a term introduced by writer and activist Alice Walker in 1977. These women were Black feminists, self-described Third World feminists, and other Black women who, up to then, had resisted these labels but, nevertheless, were part of the movement by Black women to transform the world in the direction of justice, peace, and healing. Over the next several decades, womanism matured into a world-embracing perspective informed by Black women and people of color of all genders from diverse countries and cultures.

Layli Maparyan, Ph.D., executive director of the Wellesley Centers for Women, is an expert in womanist theory and author of two groundbreaking books that chronicle its history, explore its ties to spirituality, and highlight its implications for activism. Her most recent article discusses the West African roots of womanism.

Sheron Fraser-Burgess, Ph.D., an educational philosopher who studies the social foundations of multicultural education and a fall 2021 visiting scholar at WCW, is exploring how womanism has evolved among Caribbean women in higher education in the last decade.

This program is part of the Social Change Dialogue series hosted by the Wellesley Centers for Women at Wellesley College and was co-sponsored by Harambee House at Wellesley College.

Members of the Israelite School of Universal Practical Knowledge (ISUPK) conducted weekly protests outside of the Shops at Liberty Place in Center City. The group is based in Upper Darby and part of the Black Hebrew Israelites, a religious movement which believes African Americans are descendants of the Twelve Tribes of Israel.

The group has been labeled as “extremist” and “black supremacists” by several organizations, including civil rights group Southern Poverty Law Center.

The protests angered shop owners so they filed a lawsuit to try and stop them.

Nada Mustafa Ali will present on “Women, Gender, and Sudan’s 2018/2019 Uprising,” drawing on her ongoing research from a gender and a feminist perspective. Women played key roles in Sudan’s 2018/2019 uprising which unseated Sudan's former president Omar al-Bashir and outlawed the ruling National Congress Party. Gender inequality and violations of the rights of women in different parts of Sudan was a key feature of the regime's policies. Nada Mustafa Ali uses a gender and a feminist perspective in contextualizing and analyzing the uprising as well as Sudan’s transition. What does change mean for Sudan’s diverse men and women? What role are women’s organizations and movements playing in the transition? How can the people of Sudan learn from the country’s history of transitions and short democratic periods? And what can they learn from the “Arab Spring” and from post-conflict experiences in various African countries? Professor Ali will draw on fieldwork in Sudan as well as on digital ethnographic research on social media, social movements, and social change that she started in 2014.

Khalid Mustafa Medani (’87), will present a lecture on an often-neglected element associated with the rise (and fall) of authoritarianism, the emergence of Islamic political movements, and the local dynamics of ethnic conflict in the Middle East and Africa: the role of informal commercial and social networks. Specifically, and drawing on many years of research conducted in Sudan, Egypt, Somalia and Morocco, Dr. Medani will discuss the similar (as well as contrasting) ways in which informal networks have underpinned the historic popular protests that ended 30 long years of authoritarian rule in Sudan; provided the context for the emergency of militant Islamist activism in Egypt and Morocco; and greatly influenced the dynamics of ethnic politics in Somalia. Professor Medani’s portion aims to initiate an open and critical discussion pertaining to the prospects and obstacles for popular mobilization and democratization in the region; illuminate some of the factors associated with the question of why a small minority of youth join extremist groups; and question the securitization of informal networks reflected in the ongoing global war on “terrorist” finance.

Organized by Lina Fruzzetti, professor of anthropology.

During the exhibition and programming for Queen Nefertari’s Egypt, audiences and scholars continue to raise questions around the roles of women’s power and influence within ancient Egyptian forms of governance. Join us for a closing panel discussion that continues to tease out some of the details around Queen Nefertari’s leadership, while also taking into consideration a wider history of women’s influence within pre-colonial Africa. Drawing on their individual bodies of work and research, Dr. Solange Ashby (President’s Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures at UCLA), Dr. Bright Alozie (Assistant Professor of Black Studies at Portland State University) and Debora Heard (Ph.D. Candidate in Anthropology, specializing in Nubian Archaeology at the University of Chicago) will continue to think through varying forms of women’s leadership in ancient African Civilizations.

Often the same adversaries oppose women’s, anti-racist, environmental, peace, human rights, indigenous, sexual liberation, consumer, children’s rights and other such movements. Yet these movements often remain separate and don’t see their organic linkage. Gloria Steinem, the iconic leader who continues to inhabit the leading edges of progressive social change, traces the historical, political and practical reasons movements are linked — not ranked — and why our success depends on it. Introduction by Nina Simons, Bioneers President and Co-Founder.

This speech was given at the 2011 Bioneers National Conference.

Since 1990, Bioneers has acted as a fertile hub of social and scientific innovators with practical and visionary solutions for the world's most pressing environmental and social challenges.

To experience talks like this, please join us at the Bioneers National Conference each October, and regional Bioneers Resilient Community Network gatherings held nationwide throughout the year.

FGM, or cutting, as it is also sometimes known, is the removal of the external female genitalia. The procedure has no health benefits, but can cause great harm and serious health complications for those who undergo the procedure. Besides causing severe pain, the practice has immediate and long-term consequences for the health of women and girls, including complications during childbirth, which could endanger the lives of both mother and child.

Through this animation, Al Jazeera takes the reader on a journey to understand how the cycle of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) continues: following a girl who undergoes FGM as she grows up and becomes a mother and chooses, like her mother and grandmother before her, to perform FGM on her baby daughter.
