This panel brings together Black Studies scholars whose work examines marronage*, slavery, and Black resistance across geographic, historical, and contemporary contexts. Drawing on archives from the 17th through 19th centuries in the United States and Caribbean, the panelists will explore histories of Black opposition and rebellion, the geographies of the enslaved, and the ways historical memory shapes identity. This conversation aims to connect history to present-day questions of U.S. migration and immigration policy, international inequality and mobility, and the lived experiences of diaspora communities.

After the discussion, a moderated Q&A led by 1st year Masters in Public Policy student, Nino Rodriguez student will take place.

Light Hors d'oeuvres and refreshments will be provided.

* Marronage is the act of enslaved people fleeing bondage to establish independent, free communities (known as maroon societies) in remote, inhospitable areas like swamps, mountains, or forests, primarily throughout the Americas.
