New Postdoctoral Fellow Hired For 2019–2020

The Center for Black Studies Research is pleased to announce the hiring of Dr. Justin Hosbey as a Postdoctoral Fellow for 2019–2020.

Dr. Hosbey earned a doctoral degree in cultural anthropology from the University of Florida, Gainesville, in 2016, with a dissertation titled "Charter Schools, Black Social Life, and the Refusal of Death in Post-Katrina New Orleans." Since then, he has been working at Emory University as an assistant professor in the department of anthropology.

In the Fall quarter, Dr. Hosbey will lead a workshop series titled Race, Space, and Place: Ethnography and the Digital Humanities.
Participants will learn new tools in the digital and spatial humanities, as well as read critical texts from relevant Black studies scholars, including George Lipsitz, Katherine McKittrick, Christina Sharpe, Bobby Wilson, and Clyde Woods. These activities provide participants with support for imagining and engaging new projects at the intersection of Black Studies, cultural anthropology, and the digital humanities.
