bell hooks on Childhood and Liberation I Sunday, June 22 I Online I 12:00 - 2:00 PM US ET
Instructor: Annu Dahiya, PhD
This participatory workshop explores Black feminist theorist bell hooks’ philosophy of love with a focus on children’s rights, justice, and liberation. Hooks challenges the common view of children as subservient property, insisting instead on their humanity and need for love as a learned, intentional act. Drawing from All About Love, Bone Black, and Feminism is for Everybody, we’ll examine how hooks’ reflections—shaped by her own painful childhood experiences—reimagine love as a path to both personal and collective liberation. Participants will engage critically with cultural assumptions about childhood and develop tools for rethinking love through a feminist and anti-racist lens. This workshop is open to educators, caregivers, students, and interested in rethinking love, childhood, and liberation.
SLIDING SCALE: Philosophy for liberation is committed to making education accessible. A sliding-scale is available for students who are BIPOC [black, indigenous, and people of color] and/or anyone in economic need. For 50% off, use promo code: HOOKSCHILDLIBERATION50. For 75% off, use code HOOKSCHILDLIBERATION75.
Refund Policy: Participants will receive a full refund up to 3 days before the event.
