Sorry for the late reply, I have little-to-no clue how to use this website. My general research interests are (primarily within 20th cent Af. Am. lit) childhood studies, queer theory and masculinity studies, afro-futurism, and affect and embodiment theories. I also study the vernacular and the politics of "popular," for lack of a better word, identities in hip hop literature and live performances for my rhetoric and composition department.
