About this listen

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 Rosa Clemente, a scholar, activist, and late-doctoral candidate in the Department of Afro-American Studies at University of Massachusetts, Amherst. In this conversation, we explore the complex questions of Afro-Latinx identity, cross-racial and cross-ethnic solidarity, and the meaning of Black Studies in times of deep political crisis.
