Jones, dancer, choreographer, and executive artistic director of New York Live Arts; Katherine McKittrick, professor of gender studies at Queens University; Prathiba Parmar, filmmaker and founder of Kali Films; Françoise Vergés, consulting professor at the Center for Cultural Studies, Goldsmiths College and Anjalika Sagar, co-founder of The Otolith Group.
