I completed my PhD in Critical Cultural Studies in Literature at the University of Pittsburgh in 2022. My dissertation, 'Black Girl Futures: Intersections of Black Futurity and Black Girlhood in the 20th Century,' explores the role of Black girls and adolescents as crafters of radical afrofuturist epistemologies through the 20th-century through a focus on children’s periodicals and science fiction.
