Belinda Wallace to discuss dancehall culture
Dr. Belinda Wallace, Visiting Professor and former Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of New Mexico, will be presenting the inaugural lecture of the Africana Studies Program's Emerging Scholars Lecture Series. Her presentation, "Stab Out Me Meat: Sexual Politics in Dancehall Culture" will be held in room 204E of Evans Library on Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 7:00 pm.
This is the first lecture in a series hosted by Africana Studies that supports and gives voice to emerging scholars in fields relating to the African Diaspora.
Dr. Wallace's presentation will focus on reading the female black body as 'text' in contemporary reggae and dancehall culture. Her presentation, "Stab Out Me Meat: Sexual Politics in Dancehall Culture," takes its title from Lady Saw a Jamaican reggae singer regarded as the "first lady of Dancehall." Wallace's work will evaluate the gender politics of Dancehall culture and by proxy a highly intriguing part of Caribbean culture.
Dr. Wallace's extensive work with Caribbean culture has led her to teach courses in Caribbean Women's Literature, Caribbean People and Cultures, Caribbean Feminist Thought, and Caribbean Cinema. Additionally, she is a founding member of the Caribbean Research Interest Group (CRIG)żan activist and scholar organization dedicated to studying the literatures, languages and cultures of the Caribbean.
Dr. Wallace is currently working on a book manuscript about Caribbean children's games. |
