ICONversations, Pt. 1: Dr. Irma McClaurin
Manage episode 354803811 series 3006960
Welcome to our ICONversations, a series where you will hear iconic Black feminist anthropologists answer five questions about their intellectual projects and growth, what their work has meant to them, and the imprints they want to leave on the world.
In this first episode, Alyssa and Brendane sit down with Dr. Irma McClaurin, an anthropologist who defies definition. In her words: "I don't do academic windows." Dr. McClaurin is a bio-cultural anthropologist, author, leader, and entrepreneur. She has, and continues to walk in alignment with her life's purpose: creating space for Black women to thrive, to be celebrated and remembered.
Be sure to check out Dr. McClaurin in the PBS Documentary Claiming a Space about the life and work of Zora Neale Hurston.
