Brittney C. Cooper, assistant professor of Women’s and Gender Studies and Africana Studies at Rutgers, author of the forthcoming Race Women: Gender and the Making of a Black Public Intellectual Tradition (University of Illinois Press), Susana Morris, associate professor of English at Auburn University and co-founder of the Crunk Feminist Collective, and Robin Boylorn, assistant professor of Interpersonal and Intercultural Communication at The University of Alabama are the editors of The Crunk Feminist Collection (The Feminist Press, 2017). They will discuss their community, the Crunk Feminist Collective, which aims to "create a space of support and camaraderie for hip hop generation feminists of color, queer and straight, in the academy and without, by building a rhetorical community, in which we can discuss our ideas, express our crunk feminist selves, fellowship with one another, debate and challenge one another, and support each other, as we struggle together to articulate our feminist goals, ideas, visions, and dreams in ways that are both personally and professionally beneficial."
