The Growth of African American Literary Studies at SIUE


Our ability to achieve a record year of courses depends in part on our large group of contributors. 

Our team of specialists in African American literary studies in English at SIUE includes Tisha Brooks, Elizabeth Cali, Jeremiah Carter, Angel Dye, Donavan Ramon, Cindy Reed, and Treasure Redmond. We also have three graduate students, Rie Holmon, M. Mallon, and Jalen White, who teach courses for us, along with two academic success coaches, Danielle Hall and Daria Spencer, who teach our African American literature labs. 

Strange as it sounds to say now, there was a moment -- longer than I would have liked -- when African American literary studies at SIUE was just me. I'm grateful for how much we've grown.
