I love reading and experimenting with new texts in the classroom. I am reading and using the following in my courses:

Saidiya Hartman’s Wayward Lives, Beautiful Experiments: Intimate Histories of Social Upheaval

Stephanie E. Jones-Rogers’ They Were Her Property: White Women as Slave Owners in the American South

Kelisha B. Graves’ Nannie Helen Burroughs: A Documentary Portrait of an Early Civil Rights Pioneer, 1900-1959

Mary-Elizabeth B. Murphy’s Jim Crow Capital: Women and Black Freedom Struggles in Washington D.C., 1920-1945

Ange-Marie Hancock’s Intersectionality: An Intellectual History

B. Christine Arce’s The Cultural Legacy of the Soldadera and Afro-Mexican Women

Monica M. White’s Freedom Farmers: Agricultural Resistance and The Black Freedom Movement.
I also enjoy experimenting with media and lyrical texts to help students understand the relevance and application of feminist theories. I am exploring the following in the classroom:
Issa Rae’s “Insecure”
“Bessie” HBO movie
“The Shop” HBO series
“Surviving R. Kelly” Lifetime series
“The Foxy Five” YouTube series
Billy Porter’s “Pose” Netflix series
“Queen Sugar” Oprah Winfrey Network
Solange Knowles’ “When I Get Home”
Beyonce Knowles’ “Homecoming”
