A panel discussion on Ava DuVernay's documentary film "13th" as part of the Women's History Month Women Take the Reel Film Festival. 
 

This annual film festival is a collaborative effort among Women's and Gender Studies departments involved in the Consortium for Graduate Studies in Gender, Culture, Women, and Sexuality (as well as select institutions/universities aligned with its mission) that features films directed by women and about issues relating to gender, race, sexuality, class and/or feminism. 

The focus is on intellectual investigation of these issues as well as visibility for female directors, and so every film is accompanied by a Q&A and discussion with either the film director, producer, or a faculty member from the film screening's host institution host institution. 

Panelists: 
Jenn Jackson (Assistant Professor of Political Science, Syracuse University),
Black and Pink (United States prison abolitionist organization supporting LGBTQ+ and HIV-positive prisoners),
Carla Shedd (Associate Professor of Sociology and Urban Education, The Graduate Center, City University of New York)
Moderator TBD
