I am writing a chapter for each edited book listed below. Both chapters are on local responses to Birth of A Nation, the subject of my dissertation.
Art, Culture & Ethics in Black and White: Over 100 Years of D.W. Griffith’s The Birth of a Nation, Manchester University Press, Editors: Jenny Barrett and Douglas Field (Working Chapter Title: “Standing Their Ground: A Southern Community’s Response to Birth of a Nation“)
In the Shadow of “The Birth of a Nation”: Race, Reception, Remix, Palgrave Macmillan Press, Editors: Melvyn Stokes, Paul McEwan (Working Chapter Title: “Resisting The Birth of a Nation in Virginia: Differing Perspectives”)
I am also part of the Naming Educational Whiteness (NEW) initiative at Champlain.
