CLRP hosts March 2025 Scholarship Mash-Up featuring Dr. Keisha L. Bentley-Edwards
On March 25, 2025, the Duke Law Center on Law Race & Policy (“CLRP”) hosted its monthly CLRP Scholarship Mash-Up, featuring Professor Keisha L. Bentley-Edwards, Associate Professor of Medicine (Division of General Internal Medicine), Associate Director of Research (Samuel DuBois Cook Center on Social Equity) and Co-Director for the Center for Equity in Research (CTSI M-PI, ERASE-KD Consortium). During the Mash-up, Dr. Bentley-Edwards presented on her paper: “I am not (your) superwoman, Black girl magic, or beautiful struggle: Rethinking the resilience of Black women and girls,” in which she uses research and theoretical frameworks to clarify and redefine how resiliency is understood for Black women and girls.
The Mash-ups are monthly luncheon meetings for all Duke University faculty whose research seeks to advance racial equity. These interdisciplinary gatherings are intended to be a medium through which faculty can test their ideas with each other, share insights, secure feedback, and form meaningful relationships. At each meeting, a faculty member presents, and seeks input on, a current project. These meetings aim not only to enrich our shared scholarship but also to build community among all university faculty with overlapping research interests and lead to future collaborations.
