Tiffany King will present "Losing Faith in Work(s): Black and Indigenous Relations of Doing and Being."

Tiffany King is an associate professor of Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies at Georgia State University. Her research is situated at intersections of slavery and indigenous genocide in the Americas. Her book "The Black Shoals: Offshore Formations of Black and Native Studies" (Duke University Press, 2019) argues that scholarly traditions within Black studies that examine Indigenous genocide alongside slavery in the Americas have forged ethical and generative engagements with Native Studies — and Native thought — that continue to reinvent the political imaginaries of abolition and decolonization.

Professor King’s lecture, also a keynote for the ISSRNC, emerges from her forthcoming book project "Red and Black Alchemies of Flesh: Conjuring Decolonial and Abolitionist Presents."

This event is cosponsored by Arizona State University’s Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory, the Institute for Humanities Research, the Environmental Humanities Initiative and the Black Ecologies initiative together with our partners at the International Society for the Study of Religion, Nature and Culture.

The event is virtually hosted by Live Stream Success and the Environmental Humanities Initiative at Arizona State University.
