Lunch & Learn: Anti-Racism, Batman' 89, and Two-Tier Justice
Assistant Professor of Film & Media Studies at TTU Dr. Fareed Ben-Youssef will discuss Sam Hamm's and Joe Quinones' Batman '89 comic book series, which features a Black Two-Face, a scarred supervillain and former District Attorney to describe how the series explores the anguish of a Black figure serving as a proxy for white (legal) power. Topics include: systemic racism within the Black community, postcolonial theory, and the psychological impact of popular mythologies on Black Bodies. 
Lunch is Provided and a Q & A follows Dr. Ben-Youssef's Presentation.
