The executive committee has released an apology and statement regarding the 50th anniversary plenary and Lois Banner’s statements. berksconference.org/news/statement…

I didn't intend for my #Berks2023 presentation to be so relevant. Getting ready to hold space for Deborah Gray White, @drcooperowens , and everyone who shaped and continues to shape past, present, and future of Black women’s history. Because I haven't escaped this at SI.

If you are at the #Berks2023 come by for the book launch today at 5:30 to get a signed book plate of #DressedforFreedom or just enjoy this great deal of 50% off

“Doing Feminist History in Public,” featuring ⁦@jackiantonovich⁩, @jaivirdi⁩, ⁦@nataliapetrzela⁩, ⁦and Deirdre Cooper Owens, is getting underway now. #Berks2023

Thank you for those who gave their time, thoughts and input at the meeting today. The board and trustees listened, took careful notes, and are planning action. The conversation is not over and the board will have a statement and a concrete action plan soon.

And today, fellows Thalia Chrysanthis and @MollyShilo presented with fellows from other affiliate chapters! #berks2023 @BerksConference

Please join the officers & trustees of the Berks to discuss the 50th anniversary plenary & your thoughts of how the organization can move forward to create an inclusive space for diverse histories and historians of diverse backgrounds. We are meeting in Kenna 102 from 12:15-1:30

@lkaseama Sadly we do have so much work to do still, but we are committed to doing it. We are deeply sorry and want to ensure that all attendees feel welcome and safe.

Truly disheartening. Makes me think of what Black women scholars who came before me had to deal with and shows we have such a long way to go.

The Berks officers do not condone or support the inappropriate remarks made by one of the speakers tonight. A formal statement from the presidents will be made after the break.

Deborah Gray White holding church at #Berks2023. In case you forgot, she let you know as we reflect on the @BerksConference half-centennial: "Black women could not penetrate the homosocial world of white women scholars." @ABWHTruth

Make sure you join us for an amazing plenary on indigenous feminist scholarship in the Mayer theater! Starts in ten minutes #berks2023
