During the talk, Prof. Jean-Charles will discuss her recent book, “Looking for Other Worlds: Black Feminism and Haitian Fiction.” She will also explore how a Black feminist ethic of care influences the work of three contemporary Haitian authors: Yanick Lahens, Kettly Mars and Évelyne Trouillot.

Régine Michelle Jean-Charles, Ph.D., is a Black feminist literary scholar and cultural critic who works at the intersection of race, gender and justice. She is currently the director of Africana studies, Dean’s Professor of Culture and Social Justice and professor of Africana studies and women’s, gender and sexuality studies at Northeastern University.
