Black feminisms are now central to feminist theory and knowledge production in the academy while Black feminisms remain a praxis for many women and gender expansive people at the margins. This conversation explores the productive possibilities of marginality and the contradictions which emerge from a shift to the Center. As Wynter argues, as academics, we are all Westerners, we are all grammarians of the current order of knowledge, just what does that mean for Black feminist praxis within and outside the academy?
