Bio: A student of South Carolina since 2018, I study late 20th century cultural American
history. Specifically, I examine the cultural side of the Civil Rights and Black Power
Movements, as well as African-American political expressions into the 1980s. My work
predominately focuses on music as a form of political activism and community building
and the dialogue between social movements and music. This work has also allowed me
to explore American urban and political history and the changing conceptions of race
in the United States. As well, I am interested in radical social movements of all
kinds, and especially how art subverts yet simultaneously supports white, capitalist
hegemony.
My work has allowed me to present at the 2nd Annual Department of Languages, Literatures
and Cultures' Graduate Student Conference -- where I presented on jazz and freedom
-- and the 2019 Media & Civil Rights History Symposium -- where I discussed Curtis
Mayfield's role in the Black Freedom Movement. I have also done research work with
the American Association for State and Local History on historic site visitation across
the country.
