The UTSA Reading Collective's Commentary

For a couple of years now, I have been having conversations about literature, culture, and ideas with a group of young scholars currently pursuing advanced graduate study at the University of Texas San Antonio (UTSA), where they work with the esteemed literary scholar Joycelyn Moody. Among other topics and issues, Elizabeth Cali, Allegra Castro, Christina Gutierrez, and Erin Ranft research and writer about African American literature and culture. They have recently agreed to contribute entries on aspects of their work for our site.
