Thomas E. Donnelly Professor of African American Studies and of English
Field:
Expertise:
African American Studies, African American culture and history, African American literature, American literature, literary manuscripts and archives
Description:
My research and teaching focus on African American and American literatures. I’m especially interested in the ways that authors and texts articulate un-archived, “secret” and so, unspeakable developments that shaped American life during the long century of Jim Crow segregation’s reign, from 1865 to 1965.
