Acting Institute Director Carlos Decena hosted a two-day symposium in October titled "Black Feminist Futures," highlighting the work of three important Black Caribbean feminist thinkers, activists, and artists.

On October 17, ISGRJ-NB hosted a special event featuring Puerto Rican writer Mayra Santos-Febres as part of the “On the Sound Stage” Signature Series.

Santos-Febres was joined in conversation by two exciting interlocutors--Professor Omaris Zamora (LCS/Africana Studies) and Professor Carlos Vazquez-Cruz (Kalamazoo College)—in a dialogue about her trajectory as a novelist, essayist, and activist.
