Research
In fall 2017 I published two articles on Mathieu Kassovitz’s 1995 film:
- Hip Hop Aesthetics in La Haine (Liquid Blackness 4.7)
- Teaching La Haine (The Cine-Files 13)
In March 2017 I delivered a paper, “Hip Hop Aesthetics in La Haine,” at the annual conference of the Society for Cinema and Media Studies. Other recent papers include “Eyes on the Prize and the Music of Black Power” (SCMS 2016) and two on Upstream Color.
My paper “History with a Soundtrack: YouTube, Vernacular History, and Tupac Shakur” is included in the conference proceedings from the first Tupac Amaru Shakur Collection Conference. My book chapter “The Virtual Spaces of Civil Rights” appeared in volume 2 of Cinephilia in the Age of Digital Reproduction (Wallflower – Columbia UP, 2012). My article “Globalization and the U.S. Civil Rights Movement” appeared in Public Culture (23.3).
