WHY:   The Scottsdale Society of Women Writers gives members access to events of interest, a format for exchanging ideas, an opportunity to network with other women writers and authors, an alliance with businesses relating to writing, publishing, camaraderie and support.

 

SPEAKER  Dr. Stanlie James is a professor in the School of Social Transformation at Arizona State University.  She has a joint appointment to the African and African American Studies Program and to the Women and Gender Studies Program.

 

Her areas of expertise include Women’s International Human Rights and Black Feminisms.  She has a M.A. and Ph.D. from the former Graduate School of International Studies at the University of Denver; a M.A. from the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London; and a BA from Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia.  She is the co-editor of three anthologies:  Theorizing Black Feminism: The Visionary Pragmatism of Black Women with Abena P.A. Busia; Genital Cutting and Transnational Sisterhood: Disputing U.S. Polemics with Claire Robertson; and Still Brave: The Evolution of Black Women’s Studies with Frances Smith Foster and Beverly Guy Sheftall.

 

Currently she is at work on a new manuscript tentatively entitled “Goler’s Daughters: Black Women and International Human Rights”.  The book explores the endeavors of African American and African women who are engaged in the praxis of thinking through the meaning of international human rights and developing the strategies to implement them.
