Repost to help share my new course! Fall 2025 @huntercollege.bsky.social I wish I could have taken a lab class on Native American x African American science and history as an undergraduate. So now I’m teaching one as a prof and yes, we’re whale watching in Manhattan. And learning to DJ.

If you have a book launch party, I suggest doing it with two other brilliant women colleagues whose books came out at the same time. I had a great time last night seeing Black Pro Se alongside these gorgeous monographs by Stacy Alaimo and Ashley Cordes. All three on sale now for your summer reads!

It’s pub day!!!! My first book, Black Pro Se ( @uncpress.bsky.social ) is officially on the loose, and I’m so proud of this book that sits at the intersection of Black Studies, legal studies, & 19th-c. studies. I would love to be in conversation about it with you and your students.

My first book - Black Pro Se: Authorship and the Limits of Law in Nineteenth-Century African American Literature (UNC) is out next week! It is about Black legal imagination and freedom dreams forged in and through law’s unexpected corners and loopholes.
