Inkubator: Virtual Nonfiction Panel with Hafizah Augustus Geter and Joseph Earl Thomas

Emerging from Erasure: Self-Making in Memoir

How do we construct a self through stories? How do dominant cultural narratives flatten identities of those on the margins into a single story or erase them altogether? How can memoir offer not only survival but a way to regain power? Memoirists Hafizah Augustus Geter (The Black Period: On Personhood, Race, and Origin) and Joseph Earl Thomas (Sink) will discuss how stories can be a site for unlearning internalized narratives such as white supremacy and toxic masculinity as well as a foundation for building beauty and community on your own terms.
