PhD candidate Kristen Leer's chapter "La Llorona's Blackness" has recently been published in the collection The Oxford Handbook of Black Horror Film, edited by Dr. Robin R. Means Coleman and Dr. Novotny Lawrence. The essays in this collection aim to examine the intersections of race, film, and horror and expand the ways in which researchers, critics, and fans see and make meaning of Black experiences. 

Given the anticipation of this upcoming collection, Leer has been invited to speak this fall at the Indiana University Bloomington on a book launch panel about her chapter.

Congratulations, Kristen!
