Receiving her Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin in Anthropology with a specialization in the African Diaspora as well as extensive work in black feminist politics, urban cultural studies, and social movements, Professor Keisha-Khan Y. Perry hopes to continue her scholarly research and interdisciplinary curricular development with courses in Africana Studies, Anthropology, Portuguese and Brazilian Studies, Urban Studies, and Political Science.

Interested in developing courses such as "Theorizing the Black Diaspora," "Black Women's Political Autobiography," "Race, Gender, and Urban Politics," and "Racial Politics in Contemporary Brazil," Professor Perry will emphasize interdisciplinary scholarship that centralizes the racial, gender, and class experiences of black women worldwide.

In the classroom and in her scholarship, Professor Perry hopes to inform and engage students in analyzing the black experience from an international perspective and its effects on the participatory urbanization policies in black communities in Brazil and throughout the African diaspora.
