Hosted by Ashley Newby and John E. Drabinski (Department of African American and Africana Studies, University of Maryland), The Black Studies Podcast is 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.

You can listen to the podcast here on this site or subscribe (no charge) to The Black Studies Podcast on Substack. As well, the podcast is available on all major streaming services, including:

And other services as well.
