 \, Panels\, Presentations\, Keynote\, and an Evening ReceptionApril 27 - P
 anels and Presentations \n\n\n\nLaToya T. Brackett is an Associate Profess
 or of African American Studies at the University of Puget Sound\, in Tacom
 a WA. She earned her PhD in African American and African Studies from Mich
 igan State University where she also earned her master’s in Counseling. 
 She began her journey in Black Studies at Cornell University where she ear
 ned her Bachelor’s. LaToya is a member of the Race & Pedagogy Institute
 ’s leadership team\, and member of the 2024-2025 Humanities Washington S
 peaker’s Bureau. Her research interests span Black popular culture topic
 s and contemporary issues in the ever-changing African Diaspora. Her recen
 t edited book\, Working While Black: Essays on Television Portrayals of Af
 rican American Professionals\, focuses on Black professionalisms in script
 ed TV. Her current research takes her across the African continent as she 
 engages with Black hair in Black places. And most essential for her\, as a
  Black female academic\, she strives to be able to say that she spoke up e
 ven when no one else would\, a key foundation to why she remains dedicated
  to her discipline—Black Studies.\n\n \n\n \n\n“Forgotten HUMANities: 
 Unpacking Nuanced Pedagogies of Black Female Faculty”\n\n \n\nLet me tel
 l you a story\, or two\, or maybe three\, about what it looks like to navi
 gate teaching in the humanities as a Black female professor. We teach abou
 t human culture and society while our very own humanity is forgotten. Let 
 me tell you a story about how nuanced our pedagogies must be to maintain t
 he required balance prescribed by the institutionally racist universities 
 and colleges we navigate each day. Let us center the Black female faculty
 ’s humanity as one step of resistance in an effort to reimagine academic
  spaces and halt their continuous modus operandi of silencing\, deleting\,
  and yet somehow still expecting the Black woman’s uniquely impactful vo
 ice to get the work done. I hope this keynote address will ignite acts of 
 resistance needed to listen to and retain the Black woman’s work. Too ma
 ny times\, have I found my academic self asking\, “where is the humanity
 ?” Too many times\, I am reminded that my humanity is often forgotten\, 
 and yet\, as Desmond Tutu has said\, “my humanity is bound up in yours\,
  for we can only be human together.” I am calling for us all to strive n
 ot only to teach the humanities but to live them as well.
