  • Summary

  • This is John Drabinski and you’re listening to The Black Studies podcast, a Mellon grant sponsored series of conversations examining the history of the field. Our conversations engage with a wide range of activists and scholars - senior figures in the field, late doctoral students, and everyone in between, culture workers, and political organizers - in order to explore the cultural and political meaning of Black Studies as an area of inquiry and its critical methods.


    Today’s conversation is with Utz McKnight, Professor in the Department of Gender and Race Studies at the University of Alabama, where he teaches courses on political theory in a Black Studies context. McKnight is the author of four books: Political Liberalism and the Politics of Race (1996), The Everyday Practice of Race in America: Ambiguous Privilege (2010), Race and the Politics of the Exception: Equality, Sovereignty, and American Democracy (2013), and most recently Frances E.W. Harper: A Call to Conscience (2020). In this conversation, we discuss the power of Black Studies for thinking nation, community, and democracy and the challenges of questions of diversity, class, and gender in the field.
