About this listen
Denise Harrison tells us about how trust impacts all areas of her life, from parenting to activist quilting - and shares her vision for Not Your Mother's Quilting Bee.
Denise is a professor of English working in the Department of Africana Studies (AFS). As a social activist program, the AFS department interrogates social, racial, gender and class divisions with an eye on the representation and history of people of the African diaspora. Harrison examines the cultural food ways of Indigenous and diaspora Africans as a lens by which to examine the politics of “race” class, gender, and sexual minorities in American society. Prof. Harrison also teaches in the Honors College. Her course on Shakespeare interrogates the intersections of “race,” class, gender, and sexual minorities in the Early Modern era and how Shakespeare’s plays can be re/presented in our postmodern world. Harrison is also a social activist quilt artist from Akron, Ohio. She conceives quilts that trouble the viewer, she is reminded of Audre Lorde’s quote “We cannot live without our lives and your silence will not protect you.”
