Join us for the third in the Dean's Lecture Series when Jakeya Caruthers, PhD, presents “Black Political Humor and “The Legitimacy of Forces Other than Good Ones" on March 13, 2024. The scholarship of Dr. Caruthers, an assistant professor of English and Africana Studies at Drexel University, attends to black political aesthetics within 20th and 21st century cultural production and to the study of race, gender, sexuality, and state discipline. She is working on a book-length project that examines literature and performance to explore the ways black folks manage racial terror through a sense of humor endowed with black feminist affects like curiosity or a sense of political legitimacy imagined to be possible even among morally, materially, and politically opposing figures.

The Dean's Lecture Series introduces research and scholarship by new faculty members in the College of Arts and Sciences to our larger Drexel community.

Registration is required for this event. Please register here.
