Tonight! Come to a lecture by Dr. Derrais Carter, assistant professor of Black Studies at Portland State University. His research interests include 20th-century African American history, gender and sexuality studies, and black cultural studies. Free and open to the public.
He is currently writing Obscene Material, a book examining black girlhood and scandal in 1919 Washington, D.C. Carter is also a member of the Queering Slavery Working Group, an interdisciplinary scholarly collective that uses Tumblr to place black queer studies in conversation with the history of enslavement.
