Grow Dialogue Podcast

Tune into another powerful interview that shines a light on emerging voices in #PopularCulture spaces.

Sundiata chats with Dr. T. Anansi Wilson (he/they) to reveal their vision of what’s next in pop culture as it relates to Black Queerness.

Dr. Wilson is an associate professor of law and the founding director of the forthcoming Center for the Study of Black Life and The Law at Mitchell Hamline School of law. They are an award-winning scholar of law, literary and cultural studies, a racial-and gender justice consultant, and an author of creative nonfiction. They received their law degree from Howard Law School and their PhD in African & African Diaspora Studies from UT Austin.

Dr. Wilson employs Critical Race, Black Feminist, Performance and Women & Gender Studies and legal methodologies to examine how instances and (extra) legal precedents of anti-Black violence and racial-sexual terror continue to frame and impact notions of Black being and citizenship.
