A Love Letter to the Critical Interventions of Black Scholarship
As part of our symposium, we're putting together a time capsule video in line with our theme. Want to become a part of our video letter and BGSA history? Sign up for a quick interview or send us a video, audio recording, or written response to one or more of the following questions!:
When it comes to Black scholarship, how do you center love or care? What does the word vibrancy mean to you when it comes to your work?
How does academia relate to your values of healing, wellness, or community building?
Why is Black Scholarship so vital?

Mary H. Graham, a student of literature, was the first Black woman admitted to the University of Michigan in 1876. Fun Fact: Although Mary was not officially a graduate student, receiving a Bachelor's in Philosophy in 1880, the amount of research she conducted would have likely earned her a Master's in today's academic tradition!
CENTERING OUR NARRATIVES.
The BLK GRAD Archive Project.
The BLK GRAD Archive Project.
BGSA is currently working on building a digital archive of the biographies, stories, and accomplishments of our student community. Inspired by narrative projects like StoryCorps,™ this archive serves as a way for students to learn about what their peers are invested in across other disciplines while amplifying the voices of each graduate student involved in the initiative. Conducted through short ethnographic interviews and student self-submissions we hope to compile a corpus of student experiences, interests, and concerns as a way to combat erasure and marginalization.

Our archive is in the early stages of being constructed but as the project progresses we intend to make everything accessible via this page. Keep an eye out for more updates!
