Cite Black Women is a campaign that aims to "rethink the politics of knowledge production" by encouraging the citation of Black women, particularly in academic fields.[1] It was founded in 2017 by Christen A. Smith, an associate professor of African and African diaspora studies and anthropology at the University of Texas at Austin, after a presenter at a conference she attended had plagiarized from a book she had written.[2] Smith made a t-shirt with the words Cite Black Women and began wearing it to conferences, eventually offering the shirts for sale at a meeting of the National Women's Studies Association and selling out of them within 24 hours. Proceeds from the shirts were donated to the Winnie Mandela School in Salvador, Bahia Brazil.[3] In 2018, Smith started a podcast with the same name. Шаблон:As of, she continued to sell the shirts and donate the proceeds.[4]

Organization

Cite Black Women is both a collective, as well as a hashtag campaign #CiteBlackWomen and #CiteBlackWomen Sunday.[3]

Goals

Cite Black Women has five core resolutions:[5][6]

  1. Read the works of Black women;
  2. Integrate Black women into the core of your syllabus (in life and in the classroom);
  3. Acknowledge Black women's intellectual production;
  4. Make space for Black women to speak;
  5. Give Black women the space and time to breathe.

The campaign is intended to address the underrepresentation of Black women in academia.[7]
