Today’s conversation is with Kaiama L. Glover, professor of Black Studies and French at Yale University. She is the author of A Regarded Self: Caribbean Womanhood and the Ethics of Disorderly Being and Haiti Unbound: A Spiralist Challenge to the Postcolonial Canon, as well as of numerous essays, articles, and chapters concerning race, gender, and representation in the francophone world. She is currently at work on a biography titled “For the Love of Revolution: René Depestre and the Poetics of a Radical Life” (forthcoming with Liveright/Norton) and a series of essays, “‘Blackness’ in French.” Professor Glover is the prize-winning translator of several works of Haitian prose fiction and francophone non-fiction. She is also the founding co-editor of archipelagos | a journal of Caribbean digital praxis and the founding co-director of the digital humanities project In the Same Boats: Toward an Afro-Atlantic Intellectual Cartography. She has been a contributor to the New York Times Book Review and the co-host of the podcast WRITING HOME | American Voices from the Caribbean. Professor Glover’s scholarly, translation, and digital humanities work has been generously supported by fellowships at the New York Public Library Cullman Center, the Columbia Institute for Ideas and Imagination in Paris, the PEN/Heim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Mellon Foundation.
