SUMMARY:ANCHORING AFRICAN-AMERICAN LITERATURE
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the Institute for Research in African-American Studies in co-sponsorship with Columbia University’s Center for Justice: \nANCHORING AFRICAN-AMERICAN LITERATURE\na Scholar In Residence Lecture by Gina Dent \nColumbia University Faculty Residence\, Garden Room 2\n64 Morningside Dr | New York\, NY 10027 \nFree & Open to the Public \nAbout the speaker: \nGina Dent (Ph.D.\, English & Comparative Literature\, Columbia University) is Associate Professor of Feminist Studies\, History of Consciousness\, and Legal Studies at University of California\, Santa Cruz. She served previously as Director of the Institute for Advanced Feminist Research and as Principal Investigator for the UC Multicampus Research Group on Transnationalizing Justice. She is the editor of Black Popular Culture ([1993] New York: The New Press\, 1998) and author of articles on race\, feminism\, popular culture\, and visual art. Her forthcoming book Anchored to the Real: Black Literature in the Wake of Anthropology (Duke University Press) is a study of the consequences—both disabling and productive—of social science’s role in translating black writers into American literature. Her current project grows out of her work as an advocate for human rights and prison abolition—Prison as a Border and Other Essays\, on popular culture and the conditions of knowledge. She has offered courses in critical race studies and black feminisms in Brazil (Universidade Federal da Bahia)\, Colombia (Universidad Nacional de Colombia)\, and Sweden (Linköping University) and lectures widely on these and other subjects. In June 2011\, she was a member of a delegation of indigenous and women of color feminists to Palestine and speaks often from that experience. \n  \n
