Rovel Sequeira Wins ACLS Fellowship
Congratulations, Professor Sequeira!
Ava Purkiss Publishes Article "A Paradox of Pleasure: Black Joy during ‘the Nadir,’ 1875-1905"
Purkiss threads "a delicate needle of individual happiness amid structural torment” and demonstrates that "Black people valued their own lives enough to seek joy against racist efforts to make Black life ontologically miserable.”
Founded in 1973, the University of Michigan Women's and Gender Studies Department is an interdisciplinary academic unit within the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts. The Department is a diverse intellectual community dedicated to excellence through feminist research, teaching, and activism. It seeks to build interdisciplinary collaborations among faculty and students that bridge gender, racial, ethnic, economic, and national divides; create new knowledge about women, gender, race, class, sexuality, and disability; challenge unequal distributions of power; and improve the lives of all individuals and communities.
