Over the past year, I have had the opportunity to visit countless museums in Norway, Poland, France, and Austria. Today, I want to take a moment and share with you some of my favorite pieces from right here in Bergen, Norway.

Willow Wilson and Adrian Alphona’s Ms. Marvel, Jeff Lemire’s The Underwater Welder, and more. In preparation for the talk, I started reading more texts and came across Lucy … Read More “Unhoming” and Lucy Knisley’s “An Age of License”

Where Did These Racial Stereotypes Come From?

by Unknown's avatar

The Fulbright program has provided me with the opportunity to connect with scholars and students not just in Norway but across Europe as well. Recently, I had the opportunity to travel to Warsaw to speak with students about the life and work of Frank Yerby. During my presentation, I talked about some of the ways Yerby subverts and ultimately reverses stereotypes that present African … Read More Where Did These Racial Stereotypes Come From?
