African diaspora studies

Dear Colleagues,

Please find below information about a teaching fellowship being offered at several universities in Pennsylvania's State System of Higher Education. I would appreciate you sharing this with colleagues and eligible graduate students you may serve.  It is a great way for graduate students to get university-level teaching experience and to cultivate mentoring and other professional relationships that can be helpful throughout their careers.

The Caribbean archipelago by itself (without including the countries on the Caribbean coasts of South America) comprises 13 sovereign nations and 12 dependent territories.  While there are only five official languages of the Caribbean — English, French, Dutch, Haitian Kreyòl, and Spanish — there are 59 living languages. Because of various forms of colonialism, forced migration, slavery, and unfree labor, the Caribbean cultural region is even more vast.

This is the second of a two-part interview with Dr. Ana Lucia Araujo of Howard University.

In 1995, a groundbreaking conference on LGBTQ sexualities in the African diaspora brought together an array of scholars, activists, and cultural workers including Essex Hemphill, Kobena Mercer, Barbara Smith, Urvashi Vaid, and Jacqui Alexander to interrogate the economic, political, and social situations of diasporic lesbians, gay, bisexual, and transgender peoples.
