About Me

I am scholar-practitioner, and my experiences outside and inside of academia inform my research, my teaching, and the way I engage with the world. My research on women and gender through an African American and Diasporic lens draws on collections from multiple institutions in the United States, Caribbean, and Europe, drawing on the historic legacies of the African Diaspora and the civil rights movements. I have earned numerous awards and fellowships to support this research, and have been invited to participate in conference and panel discussions to share this knowledge with conference attendees and public audiences. Furthermore, in my extensive experience as museum curator, I have increased support and visibility for various institutions, established collections and digitization policies, installed exhibitions, and published digital media to support their mission statements.
