Mellon Mays Special Keynote Address: "The War at Home: Politics of the Black Left during the Neoliberal Turn" by Broderick Dunlap
Time: 12:00pm - 1:30pm
Location: Online via Zoom
Speaker Bio: Broderick Dunlap is a distinguished scholar from Riverside, California, with an extensive academic background in history and African American studies from La Sierra University, UCLA, and Johns Hopkins University. A committed activist and labor organizer, Dunlap has been at the forefront of significant research initiatives, including “Archiving the Age of Mass Incarceration” with UCLA’s Million Dollar Hoods Project and the California Reparations Task Force. Recognized as a “Changemaker for Justice and Equity” by UCLA College Magazine, his work delves into the history of Black political movements, emphasizing the intersections of race, class, and power struggles. Currently a Ph.D. candidate at Johns Hopkins, his research sheds light on the dynamics of political and economic trends in the history of the United States.
Description: Join us for a compelling keynote address by Broderick Dunlap on the evolution of radical and progressive political movements during the 1980s—a pivotal era marked by the neoliberal shift that emphasized individualism over community and market solutions over collective action. This talk will delve into how these movements provided a voice for the often-ignored concerns of poor and working-class African Americans, challenging the narratives that have long obscured the root causes of racial and economic injustices. "The War at Home" offers a critical reexamination of Black political activism in the 1980s and its lasting significance in today's social movements.
