Upcoming Talk:
Professor Esmeralda Thornhill

"Reading R. v RDS: A Key to Understanding the Dynamics of 'Race'
and Gender Intersecting"

Date: Friday, September 25, 2015
1:00pm

Simone de Beauvoir Institute
2170 Bishop Street
Concordia University, Montreal


Abstract: To many Black women compelled to chart and pilot our lives
in the interstices between `race` and gender, everything has
changed, but nothing has really changed. Eighteen years ago the
Supreme Court of Canada delivered a ground-breaking decision on 'race'
and racism in the landmark case, R. v. RDS – an eye-opener on several
levels. This case which started out as the criminal trial in
Family Court of a Black youth on a bicycle, ended up with the Black
female trial judge herself being "tried" by the legal, political,
and social systems of our country. RDS opens a direct window on
the complex dynamics, inevitable ongoing tensions, and palpable
material reality that all come into play when 'race' and gender
intersect. The case's historical and legal significance cannot be
understated. Yet, more important than the actual court case itself
is the aftermath and attendant fall-out, so rife with egregious
acts of omission and commission that individually and collectively,
we are impelled to question the glaring contradictions between the
equality "speak" and actual praxis of t so many well- intended
do-gooders… feminist practitioners not excepted.
