Christina Sharpe is Associate Professor in the Department of English at Tufts University.
This talk will draw from “In the Wake: On Blackness and Being,”
forthcoming from Duke University Press.
Her research interests are in black visual culture, black diaspora studies, and feminist epistemologies, with a particular emphasis on black female subjectivity and black women artists. In 2001-2002, she received a Ford Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship, and in the fall of 2002, she received a Tufts Junior Faculty research semester, both of which helped her work on the manuscript of her book, Monstrous Intimacies (Duke University Press, 2010).
