The Reading Room is a casual and creative gathering dedicated to studying the works of Black feminist writers and thinkers. Each month, we read together, sit with big ideas, and open space for conversation, reflection, and connection.

No advance reading is required. We read the text together in the room.

This November, we're picking up where we left off during October's reading room. We'll continue exploring Black Feminist Hauntings through drea brown’s “Conjuring the Ghost: A Call and Response to Haints,” from brown's book Conjuring the Haint: The Haunting Poetics of Black Women.

Together, we’ll return to questions of haunting, memory, survival, and the things that refuse to disappear, considering what ghosts and haints might offer us as ways of seeing, knowing, and navigating.

Whether you joined us in October or are encountering the text for the first time, you're welcome to join the conversation.

Photocopies of the text will be provided…
