Jaye Austin Williams, Assistant Professor, Performance Studies Specialist in the Department of Critical Black Studies, and Affiliate Faculty with the Department of Theatre & Dance, presents: "Antiblackness and the Limits of Performance."
Professor Williams discusses her work analyzing Dramatic Performance and its discursive engagement with Anti-black animus. She performs excerpts of dramatic texts that demonstrate this, and discusses both the importance of interfacing dramatic arts and humanities, and the limits, and why she persists at working at this challenging intersection.
