This is Ashley Newby and you’re listening to The Black Studies podcast, a Mellon grant sponsored series of conversations examining the history of the field. Our conversations engage with a wide range of activists and scholars - senior figures in the field, late doctoral students, and everyone in between, culture workers, and political organizers - in order to explore the cultural and political meaning of Black Studies as an area of inquiry and its critical methods.
Today's conversation is with Leroy F. Moore, Jr., founder of The Krip-Hop Institute and doctoral candidate in the Department of Anthropology at University of California, Los Angeles. Moore is an award-winning writer and political organizer, and in this conversation we discuss the nature of activist work, the place of disability in Black Studies, and the history of expressive cultural work of Black disabled artists and musicians.
