Introducing the "American Dream/American Nightmare" conference speakers! Our first roundtable of the day is on the theme "Poetics of Resistane" and will feature Dr Kate Lewis-Hood (QMUL), Dr Rona Cran (University of Birmingham), and Dr Swati Rana (UCSB)....

The graphoc contains the following information: Dr. Kate Lewis Hood (they/she) is an interdisciplinary scholar and writer, and a Lecturer in English at Queen Mary University of London. Kate's current book project, Overlapping Currents, considers how Black and Indigenous poetics address the durational and nonlinear effects of colonialism, racial capitalism, and heteropatriarchy in watery places in Turtle Island/North America and the Pacific islands. Kate's work attends to relationships between poetry and place-based practices of water protection, performance, and decolonial infrastructure-making, and seeks to be in conversation to build responsible anti-colonial, queer and feminist methodologies from the UK.

Kate is pictured outside smiling and has long blonde hair.

The graphic features the following information: Rona Cran (they/them) is a London-based writer and scholar. Their first poetry collection, I Remember Kim, was published with Verve Poetry Press in 2023.
