This year’s conference, named in honor of bell hooks' captivating essay, “Homeplace: A Site of Resistance,” invites participants to explore how they are cultivating, nurturing, and affirming safe spaces and groups as a collective form of resistance, transformation, and reclamation. Black resistance emphasizes thriving in spaces that were never built with us in mind, such as higher education. We challenge you to take up space, honoring our authenticity, histories, intersecting identities, and shared joys.
