Humbled & thrilled to share that THE POETICS OF DIFFERENCE is the winner of this year's Scarborough Prize from MLA. So grateful to @IllinoisPress & all the friends, family, colleagues & teachers who helped make this book real. Congrats to all the honorees! See you in SF #mla2023!

"The Nicknames of Distortion: A Hortense Spillers Symposium" brought scholars into academic community with Spillers herself, Margo Natalie Crawford (Penn) and C. Riley Snorton (U of Chicago). Organized by Brown graduate students. Truly memorable. @africanaatbrown @RaceEthnicity
