Tavia Nyong'o, “Amalgamation”
How has queer theory inflected the study of African American life? Prof. Nyong'o will discuss the process of producing a historical study of amalgamation, the discourse that preceded and shaped the discourse of miscegenation, from a perspective informed by queer theory and methodologies.
