BWSA Annual Symposium: “We Hold the World Together” - Regular Registration

The Black Women’s Studies Association (BWSA) invites you to join us for our annual symposium April 17th-18th 2026. This year’s theme, “We Hold the World Together,” recognizes a simple truth: things don’t get done unless Black women do it.

Together, we’ll explore the many ways Black women labor, lead, and forge belonging, and how these practices demand visibility and justice in a world that too often insists on our dehumanization and disposal. The symposium will feature conversations that engage labor, leadership, and belonging, individually and collectively, while also grappling with their possibilities and limitations.

 We warmly welcome activists, independent scholars, community leaders, and students, with special encouragement for participants joining from the Caribbean, Africa, Europe, and other regions outside of the United States.
