My current research is a continuation and expansion of my dissertation, 鈥淏ad Mathematics: Black Experimental Poetry and Performance in 21st Century Diaspora鈥�. In this project, I witness how contemporary Black cultural producers wield analogies culled from math, physics, and material sciences in their creative work in an effort to radically deconstruct the formalizations that attempt to define Blackness, humanness, and categories of difference. I am also working on a secondary research project animated by Christina Sharpe鈥檚 question, 鈥淲hat does it take to keep breath in the Black body?鈥� I pursue an exploration of this question through embodied movement and specifically, through my strength-training practice working primarily with kettlebells.

Questions that motivate my research:

How do artists and writers extend the efforts of critical humanists such as Sylvia Wynter and Franz Fanon in their creative work? How can interdisciplinary, anti-disciplinary, and un-disciplinary approaches to scholarship change the possibilities for knowledge production? What new shapes must Black Study take to meet the demands for liberation in our current moment?
