What are our imagined futures?
The Imagined Futures of Black Faculty is a digital and visual scholarship project that brings together artistic portraits, interviews, and essays from Black college and university faculty. The project’s primary aims include using speculative approaches to increase our collective visibility, provide new models for self-authorship, and envision radical possibilities of Black life-making within and beyond the academy.
