Kimberly Juanita Brown

Co-Director, Consortium of Studies in Race, Migration, and Sexuality
Kimberly Juanita Brown is Associate Professor of English and Creative Writing and co-director of the Consortium of Studies in Race, Migration, and Sexuality. Her book, The Repeating Body: Slavery’s Visual Resonance in the Contemporary (Duke University Press) examines slavery’s profound ocular construction, the presence and absence of seeing in relation to the plantation space and the women represented there. She is currently at work on her second book, tentatively titled “Mortevivum: Photography and the Politics of the Visual.”  This project examines images of the dead in the New York Times in 1994 from four overlapping geographies: South Africa, Rwanda, Sudan, and Haiti. Brown is the founder and convener of the Dark Room: Race and Visual Culture Studies Seminar. The Dark Room is a working group of women of color whose work gathers at the intersection of critical race theory and visual culture studies.
