She holds a B.A. in American History from the University of Virginia and a M.A. as well as Ph.D. in American History from Princeton University.

Her research addresses the intersections of race, class, gender, sexuality, and the law. She has published in the University of Pennsylvania Law Review and the Journal of the History of Sexuality. She is the recipient of several awards including the University of Virginia’s Carter G. Woodson Postdoctoral fellowship and a Scholar-in-Residence fellowship from the New York Public Library’s Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture.

Her first book, Talk With You Like a Woman: African American Women, Justice, and Reform in New York, 1890-1935 (University of North Carolina Press, 2010) received the 2011 Letitia Woods Brown Book Award from the Association of Black Women Historians and honorable mentions from the 2011 John Hope Franklin Prize from the American Studies Association and the 2011 Darlene Clark Hine Prize from the Organization of American Historians. Her new book project, “The Case of Hannah Elias: Interracial Intimacy and Civil Rights in Turn-of-the-Century New York,” interrogates the trajectory of a covert, consensual interracial relationship that ultimately precipitated murder, scandal, and civil rights protest.

Submissions for BlackYouthProject.com

The work of The Black Youth Project (BYP) is based on three basic concepts: knowledge, voice, and action.

KNOWLEDGE: We are committed to producing research about the ideas, attitudes, decision making, and lived experiences of black youth, especially as it relates to their political and civic engagement.

VOICE: Unlike any other organization, we amplify the perspectives of young black people daily without censorship or control. We have built a space on the Internet where black youth can speak for themselves about the issues that concern them.

ACTION: Informed with culturally-specific knowledge, we will work to mobilize black youth and their allies to make positive change and build the world within which they want to live.

BYP 100: Comprised of 100 black activists from across the country convened by the Black Youth Project to mobilize communities of color beyond electoral politics.

BlackYouthProject.com is a diverse online resource, divided into four main subsites: BYP BLOG, BYP RESEARCH,BYP 100 and BYP ACTION.
