Dr. Clark Barwick’s project consists of research of the life and works of Harlem Renaissance writer John F. Matheus.

During the 1920s, Matheus was a significant contributor to the so-called “New Negro” movement, publishing award-winning short fiction and plays along with essays and poems in major venues. Matheus’ work was attuned to blackness in immigration, war, and rural life, as well as diasporic blackness, with much of his writing focusing on racial struggle in Haiti, Africa, and Europe.

In his later years, Matheus became an influential scholar, committed to African American higher education and, in particular, foreign language education for African American college students.
