Dr. Maisha Wester

This year Maisha Wester was awarded one of ten prestigious four-year Global Professorships from the British Academy.

Dr. Wester received the award for her project "The Horrors of Race: The Gothic in Racial Politics."

Maisha Wester is an Associate Professor in the Departments of African American and African Diaspora Studies (AAADS) and American Studies. She also serves as Interim Director of Graduate Studies, African American and African Diaspora Studies. Recently Dr. Wester joined CRRES for a panel discussion in the Confronting Racism series, discussing race and racism in the context of protests and change.
