This Friday and Saturday (March 1st & 2nd), UT-Austin will play host to the 18th Annual Sequels Symposium, co-organized by the Ethnic and Third World Literatures and Global South Collective graduate student groups. The symposium, entitled "Fugitive Futures: Graduate Students of Color Un-Settling the University," will feature two days of graduate student panels as well as a keynote speech by Dr. Saidiya Hartman on Friday morning (9:30 A.M., Prothro Theater, Harry Ransom Center).

All participants will be presenting work, academic or otherwise, that takes up the general question:  "how might we negotiate our precarious positions in the university, and what are the stakes of articulating ourselves as 'fugitives' in relation to the academy?"All details for the event can be found at the event website: https://www.ut-sequels.com/
