Professor Koritha Mitchell specializes in African American literature, violence throughout U.S. history and contemporary culture, and Black drama and performance. She examines how texts, both written and performed, have helped terrorized communities survive and thrive. Her full bio is available here  and her personal website can be found here

Professor Micah Goodrich’s research explores the triangulation among nature, temporality, and (re)production to formulate a premodern trans theology of embodiment. He considers how the cultural power of nature is invoked by medieval institutions to control embodiment, specifically the body’s power to create and transform. His full bio is available here.
