  • Summary

  • This is John Drabinski 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 three faculty members from the Department of Africana Studies at Buffalo State University. Naila Ansari is a dancer and a professor in the Department of Theater. John Torrey is a theorist and a professor in the Philosophy Department. Marcus Watson is an ethnographer and anthropologist and a professor in the individualized study program. All are core members of the Department of Africana Studies at Buffalo State, where Watson also serves as Chairperson. In this conversation, we explore the relation of Black study to social and racial justice, scholarship-community relations, and the future of work in Black Studies from a community and social transformation perspective.
