McHarris bring their scholarly expertise in Black creativity and Black geographies to Rochester.<\/h2>\n<p>In 2022, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/\">Ä¢¹½´«Ã½<\/a> established the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sas.rochester.edu\/aas\/index.html\">Department of Black Studies<\/a> as an academic center for multidisciplinary research, education, and engagement with Black life and culture in the US and beyond. Ahead of the 2023\u201324 academic year, the department appointed its first two full-time faculty members: Jordan Ealey and Philip V. McHarris.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Department of Black Studies provides the campus with scholars and thinkers who are serious about the issues and contributions of Black people from across the globe,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sas.rochester.edu\/eng\/people\/faculty\/mccune-jeffrey\/index.html\">Jeffrey McCune Jr.<\/a>, the Frederick Douglass Professor, who has championed Black studies at Rochester. In the discipline generally and at the University specifically, he adds, \u201cProfessors Ealey and McHarris offer much-needed intellectual interrogations of the health and wellness of Black people and communities in a world of anti-Black, white supremacist patriarchy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meet the inaugural faculty of this burgeoning academic department centering the complexities and nuances of the Black experience.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Q&amp;A with Jordan Ealey<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Jordan Ealey is an assistant professor of Black studies and a scholar-artist whose research explores Black feminist creatives, with particular attention to theatre and performance. Ealey joined Rochester after earning a doctorate in theatre and performance studies at the University of Maryland.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What attracted you to Rochester?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>EALEY:<\/strong> I was very excited by the prospect of joining a brand-new department and having the opportunity to shape its future. I have also long admired Jeffrey McCune\u2019s work, both as a scholar and an academic leader, and was thrilled by his appointment to steer the establishment of the new Black studies department. The Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ has incredible resources to support my work as an artist-scholar, and the small, liberal arts feel of the campus will allow for fruitful interdisciplinary collaborations. Finally, this is a place with a rich history of activism, having been home to civil rights giants such as Frederick Douglass and Susan B. Anthony, and that energizes me as a researcher, teacher, and artist.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Tell us about the courses you\u2019ll be teaching this academic year.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>EALEY:<\/strong> In the fall, I am teaching a course called Black Drama: Performance and Contemporary Issues, which focuses on contemporary Black theatre and performance from the 1970s to the present. In the course, we read plays and analyze essays about the theory and philosophy of Black art from prominent Black theatre artists, most notably Ntozake Shange, Pearl Cleage, August Wilson, Tarell Alvin McCraney, and Aleshea Harris. We also practice skills in playwriting, dramaturgy, and directing using the principles we\u2019ve learned.<\/p>\n<p>In the spring, I will be teaching Black Feminist Theory. That course serves as an \u201cABCs\u201d of Black feminism, where I introduce students to the theories, philosophies, and practices of Angela Davis, Marsha P. Johnson, Janet Mock, and other Black feminist thinkers. We engage a wide range of material from critical essays, expressive culture, lectures, speeches, and much more.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Your scholarship focuses on the \u201ctransformative possibilities of Black creativity through language, sound, and movement.\u201d What\u2019s an example of such a transformation?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>EALEY:<\/strong> As someone who studies arts and expressive culture, I consider transformation to happen in the types of spaces where art happens. For example, I study musicals by Black women. When I say that I write about musical theatre, there is a tendency to assume that these musicals are all happening on Broadway. In fact, many of them never make it to Broadway. Instead, they happen in community theatres, churches, schools, and other \u201camateur\u201d places. So, transformation refers to the impact the musicals taking place in these places have on the local communities.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What\u2019s your favorite thing to do on a weekend?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>EALEY:<\/strong> I consider myself a little bit of an amateur antiquarian. I am a music lover; I collect old vinyls and want to get into restoring them. I love to haunt record shops in any city I visit to see what gems I can find. I also love to explore used bookstores for similar reasons and am on a mission to grow my collection of rare books and other ephemera by Black creators.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Q&amp;A with Philip V. McHarris<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Philip V. McHarris is an assistant professor of Black studies whose research focuses on racial inequality, housing, and policing. He joined the University after having served as a presidential postdoctoral fellow at Princeton University\u2019s Department of African American Studies.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What attracted you to Rochester?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>MCHARRIS:<\/strong> Rochester boasts a rich history, especially having been home to figures such as Frederick Douglass who played a monumental role in advocating for the rights and freedoms of Black people and the abolition of slavery. Being in a city steeped in such historical legacy and culture is an enriching and exciting place to be a scholar and professor.<\/p>\n<p>The opportunity to be part of the inaugural faculty in the Department of Black Studies was also compelling. The formation of this new department, along with the strength of the already-established Frederick Douglass Institute, signifies a commitment by the University to advance the understanding of Black experiences, histories, and scholarship. Given my research and interests, joining such a collaborative and evolving space was an incredibly enticing prospect.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Tell us about the course you\u2019ll be teaching this academic year.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>MCHARRIS: <\/strong>I will be teaching Black Geographies, which offers students an introduction to the foundational concepts and theories in the field. In this course, we\u2019ll delve into an interdisciplinary collection of texts to understand how Black communities both shape and are shaped by space and place. The course seeks to demonstrate the intricate relationship between spatial matters and Black experience. In the spring, I will be teaching Introduction to Black Studies, which will introduce students to the long-standing history of radical Black thought and key issues central to Black life throughout the world.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Your upcoming book, <em>Brick Dreams: The Unfinished Project of Public Housing<\/em>, centers on a high-rise public housing development in Brooklyn. What issues are you exploring in the book?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>MCHARRIS: <\/strong><em>Brick Dreams<\/em> is an ethnography-based manuscript that delves deep into the New York City Housing Authority\u2019s contemporary challenges and realities. In the research, I focus on pressing concerns among residents, particularly issues related to safety, policing, building conditions, and cycles of poverty. I detail the various strategies, such as tenant association activism and community organizing, that residents mobilize to navigate and challenge these concerns.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What\u2019s your favorite thing to do on a weekend?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>MCHARRIS: <\/strong>On weekends, I enjoy the outdoors, staying active, and playing pool. Lately, I\u2019ve been discovering all of the nature surrounding Rochester! And, of course, I like spending time with family and friends.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Read more<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"large-up-3\">\n<div class=\"column\" style=\"padding-left: 0px;\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/jeffrey-mccune-jr-director-frederick-douglass-institute-489852\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/fea-jeffrey-mccune-jr-black-studies.jpg\" alt=\"Jeffrey McCune in a suit and bowtie smiles at the camera outside on the Eastman Quad.\" \/><strong>Jeffrey McCune Jr. to lead Frederick Douglass Institute<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: .9em;\">The accomplished scholar discusses the importance of Black studies as well as his plans to expand the scope of the institute at the URochester and in communities beyond campus.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"column\" style=\"padding-left: 0px;\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/changing-narrative-about-blackness-the-crucible-tituba-549632\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/fea-the-crucible-susanna-1536x922.jpg\" alt=\"Actor playing Susanna in The Crucible fixes her costume in a mirror backstage.\" \/><strong>Changing the narrative about Blackness on the stage<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: .9em;\">By partnering with Black actors and artists, the International Theatre Program\u2019s recent productions help give new dimension to marginalized characters.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"column\" style=\"padding-left: 0px;\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/gospel-music-black-artists-evolution-541522\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/fea-gospel-music-black-roots-hunter.jpg\" alt=\"Black and white photo of the four members of Freedom Singers, four gospel musicians from Georgia, singing and clapping.\" \/><strong>Is gospel music losing its Black roots?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: .9em;\">Musicologist Cory Hunter identifies a notable contemporary shift in the century-old musical form.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jordan Ealey and Philip V.
