What does it mean to live in the wake of the slave ship, in the aftermaths of slavery? 

What are the impacts on Black life today?

Through a guided conversation, this session will examine the concepts of 'freedom' versus 'emancipation' for Black peoples, and explore the impacts of chattel slavery on today's education system. We will consider how to perform what Christina Sharpe calls "Wake Work" (2016) and consider how we can engage with Wake Work in our respective roles.
