Two new faculty members on campus, Shane Vogel and Ernest Mitchell, will each share about their archivally-informed work in African American literary studies.
Ernest Mitchell is Assistant Professor of English and Humanities. He studies literature, philosophy, and religion — how they converge, how they shape one another, how they fashion our sense of being modern. Methodological insights from black studies guide him in this research. His literary focus is the “Harlem Renaissance,” viewed expansively as integral to transatlantic modernism.

Shane Vogel is Professor of African American Studies and English at Yale University. His research and teaching interests include performance studies, dramatic literature, theater history, aesthetic theory, queer studies, African American literature and performance, Black existentialism, and the Harlem Renaissance.
