  biography

  Chelsea B. Osademe is a Nigerian-American scholar from Pine Bluff, Arkansas. She joins the Department of English as a PRODiG+ Fellow. She researches and teaches in the areas of Black Cultural Studies, Contemporary African-American Literature, Gothic studies, Media studies, and Feminist theory. Her current work places Black studies and Gothic studies in conversation with one another by surveying Black cultural and literary works produced at the onset of The Black Lives Matter Movement, and amidst a political climate that circulated the narrative of a post-racial society during the Obama administration. She received her B.A. in English Literature from Spelman College, an M.A. in English with a concentration in Cultural Studies and Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies from Kansas State University, and a Ph.D. in American Studies with a certificate in African American and African studies from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities.
