  • Summary

  • This is Ashley Newby and you’re listening to The Black Studies podcast, a Mellon grant sponsored series of conversations examining the history of the field. Our conversations engage with a wide range of activists and scholars - senior figures in the field, late doctoral students, and everyone in between, culture workers, and political organizers - in order to explore the cultural and political meaning of Black Studies as an area of inquiry and its critical methods.


    Today’s conversation is with Professor Jessica Marie Johnson, who teaches and writes on the history of the Atlantic slave trade and the cultural history of the African diaspora. She is the author of Wicked Flesh: Black Women, Intimacy, and Freedom in the Atlantic World, which was published in 2020 by University of Pennsylvania Press, and is at work on a cluster of projects that engage early post-slavery history in the United States and digital representations of Black women and engagement with the history of enslavement. You can read more about her ongoing research at her professional page jessicamariejohnson.com.
