https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/6b4cafa9-e8c2-4837-9539-8d06ea359349 Guest Dr. Jasmin A. Young is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Ethnic Studies. She is developing her manuscript, Black Women and Armed Resistance in the Black Freedom Struggle. This work fundamentally rethinks the history of the Black Freedom Movement by placing Black women’s armed activity at the center of the Civil Rights and Black Power Movements. The project explores the extensive practice and advocacy of armed resistance by Black women. Dr. Young’s research interests center broadly on the intellectual history of Black women, state violence and resistance, and radical Black feminism. These interests are woven into her scholarship, professional service, and passion projects. Her latest article, “Gloria Richardson, Armed Self-Defense, and Black Liberation in Cambridge, Maryland,” was published in The Journal of African American History. She co-edited the Black Power Encyclopedia: From “Black is Beautiful” to Urban Uprisings (Greenwood Press, 2018). This two-volume reference offers a cross-disciplinary and broad approach to the movement and explores the emergence and evolution of the Black Power Movement in the United States. Dr. Young is working collaboratively with Lishan AZ, a game designer at the University of California, Davis, on a historically-based educational game focused on Black women’s history. The first installation in the series, completed in 2017, is entitled “Tracking Ida.” Dr. Young works on the project as a historical consultant and writer.
