(Dana Williams and Dolan Hubbard at MLA, Dec. 29)
During the MLA conference in Philly, I was pleased to catch up with Dolan Hubbard from Morgan State, Dana Williams from Howard University, and Donna Akiba Harper from Spelman College. All three produce scholarship on African American literature and culture.
And they are among a small number of scholars from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) who have a visible and consistent presence at these larger "white" conferences like MLA. Of course, it's worth noting that they also have a similar presence at "black" conferences, like the College Language Association annual gatherings.
