This summer, I completed a research fellowship at the Beinecke Rare Books & Manuscript Library at Yale University. It was incredible to engage with their materials on Frederick Douglass, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Ida B. Wells, and see many of my colleagues back at Yale.
My author-meets-critics book panel at APSA this fall was incredible. Many thanks to the participants, Yuna Blajer de la Garza, Julie Cooper, Joshua Cherniss, and Gianna Englert, for their generous intellectual engagement. I am looking forward to publishing this collection of responses to the book with Susan Collins at Review of Politics as a symposium.
This fall, I am writing on Frederick Douglass’s and Ida B. Wells’s invocations to conscience, alongside my “Freedom and Resistance in African American Political Thought” course.
This winter, I am publishing an essay on Ida B. Wells in TIME’s new initiative, Made By History. The essay will feature in their Black History Month series and engage with Wells’s view of political resistance, Black leadership, and political sacrifice.
This spring, I will also be teaching the ‘Introduction to Political Theory’ course at Washington University in St. Louis.
