Black Metropolis Research Consortium Annual Meeting
Posted by Andy1917
Content: The Black Metropolis Research Consortium invites you to our 2026 VIRTUAL Annual Meeting with Special Guest, Dr. Sharese King on December 10th, 11 am CST. Dr. Sharese King (UChicago), in conversation with Dr. Natacha Nsabimana will discuss her work on Black talk, zooming in on her experiences in Chicago. Her research explores regional variation in speech amongst Black talkers, drawing on their narratives of migration, emergent changes to the city, and what it means to them to "sound Black." Did you hear the public radio program about the Black Chicago accent produced by former BMRC research fellow @ArionneNettles ? Well this is a chance to learn more about the research behind Black talk! 💻REGISTER TODAY! https://uchicago.zoom.us/meeting/register/dqNftJ_DQiWgtYS8raPJ-Q
