Kathryn Sophia Belle on Jones & Beauvoir: November 26

Kathryn Sophia Belle, Associate Professor of Philosophy at Penn State, is giving a talk on November 26 from 1:00-2:15pm in the Philosophy seminar room (Cedar, 2nd floor). In her talk—titled “1949: Claudia Jones and Simone de Beauvoir 70 Years Later”—she will imagine a debate between Claudia Jones (“An End to the Neglect of the Problems of Negro Women!”) and Simone de Beauvoir (The Second Sex), paying particular attention to Jones’s triple oppression analysis of Black women as simultaneously raced, classed, and gendered.
