Ernest Morrell and Ansley Erickson’s Educating Harlem: A Century of Schooling and Resistance in a Black Community
Katrina Andry, ADC Global Visual Arts Director, is hosting an Artist Talk and Exhibition, entitled “Over There and Here is Me and Me,” at the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art at the College of Charleston, Charleston, SC. Andry’s work explores the negative effects of stereotypes on the lives of Black people and how these stereotypes give rise to biased laws and ideologies in our society.
2019 Emerging Scholar Anthony Briggs, who received an extension for his post doctoral fellowship in Diversity and Equal Opportunity in Higher Education, also recently authored both “We had support from our brothers”: a critical race counter-narrative inquiry into second-generation black Caribbean male youth responses to discriminatory work pathways and National origins, social context, timing of migration and the physical and mental health of Caribbeans living in and outside of Canada.
2019 Emerging Scholar Travis Bristol was recently elected board member of the National Center for Teacher Residencies’ Board of Directors and has recently published Who Is Here to Help Me? The Work-Related Social Networks of Staff of Color in Two Mid-Sized Districts.
ADC Emerging Scholar Saran Stewart recently published Decolonizing Qualitative Approaches for and by the Caribbean, a Caribbean oriented and anti-imperialist ethnographic approach to collecting data about people and culture focused on the socioeconomic and political environment within the (post) colonial context.
ADC Emerging Scholar Derron Wallace, who is also a Woodrow Wilson fellow and Harvard Stuart Hall Fellow, recently won CIES’s Joyce Cain Award for Distinguished Research on People of African Descent. His recent publications include "Safe Routes to Schools? Black Caribbean Youth Negotiating Surveillance in London and New York City.", “Boys don’t rule us’: Rwandan Girls’ Critical Interrogation of Masculine Domination in Classrooms." and "Between Rhetoric and Reality: Disabled Rwandan Young Women’s Perspectives on Gender Inequality in School."
Emerging Scholar Emmanuel Tabi’s recent publications include Neoliberalism, Black Masculinity, and Black Male Youth: The Value of Transdisciplinary Studies to Urban Educators and Towards Sensorial Approaches to Visual Research with Racially Diverse Young Men.
Emerging Scholar Ama Wray’s recent book chapter on Embodiology has been published in The Oxford Handbook of Improvisation in Dance by Oxford University Press. She also gave a keynote speech at the World Dance Alliance Conference in El Paso, Texas entitled “Small Hinges Open Big Doors: Swinging Back in the Direction of the Other”. In addition, she was also invited to present at the Artificial Intelligence for Everyone Conference. Her closing keynote speech at the Dance/USA conference in Cleveland Ohio on June 15, 2019 entitled “Yes, No, Maybe, Need more information?” can be found here.
ADC Chief of Staff and VP for Global Public Affairs and Partnerships Jason Hughes was resoundingly elected to the Louisiana House of Representatives, making him one of the youngest members. He stays busy as he’ll have his hands full with this new role along with his role as a German Marshall Fund Marshall Memorial Fellow, where he engages with peers, colleagues, and leaders across Europe, engaging with policymakers about including African descendant populations throughout Europe and globally. As an example of how we are tightly woven as a team, Chair Cox’s international standing and letter of support is hugely responsible for Jason’s selection as a MMF. Certainly, Board member Reta Lewis played a role. Board Member Sally Clausen provided Jason campaign support, and all our team who knew he was running for office provided him encouragement and support.
