Transformative Justice in Education Center Presents Dr. Jean Beaman
Towards a Reading of Black Lives Matter in France: Diasporic Connections and Global Social Movements
On February 7, 2024, the Transformative Justice in Education Center hosted Dr. Jean Beaman speaking on “Towards a Reading of Black Lives Matter in France: Diasporic Connections and Global Social Movements.” Beaman discussed her ongoing ethnographic research on anti-racist mobilization and activism against police violence in the United States and worldwide. Beaman addressed what it means to consider Black Lives Matter in a society that disavows race and racism and how anti-racist activists in France, many of whom are Black and Maghrébin origin, assert a place for themselves in a society that continually marginalizes them.
