LAWRENCE A winner of the Rhetoric Society of America Book Award will bring further insight to ongoing conversations at the University of Kansas and beyond about how to respond to state-sanctioned racial violences in the era of #BlackLivesMatter.
Ersula Ore, the 2021 John F. Eberhardt Memorial Lecturer in KU’s Department of English, will present a virtual talk titled “Sandy’s ‘Black Looks’: Countertemporal Postures and the Reclamation of Time” at 4 p.m. April 13.
Taking Sandra Bland’s 2015 arrest as a point of departure, Ore will discuss how misogynoir arrests, takes up time and depletes the lived time of Black women. It will consider the ways civility discourse manifests temporally as capture in the lives of Black women and how the countertemporal orientation of “black looks” enacts a Black feminist declaration to reclaim time in pursuit of a more just future.
