Research & Discovery

I am working on eight different projects related to my interests, including the following:

How Novels by Widely Read African American Authors Depict the Impact of Racism on African American Family Life. Taking African American novels as in part reports of lived experience, cultural knowledge, and observations of families, I am writing about how 26 African American-authored novels depict the short run and long run impact of racism on everyday life in African American families.
