Book Talk at University of Virginia on 4/11/24

Us: Empire and the Threat of Black Femininity

I'm going to talk about Jordan Peele's Us (as is maybe evident from the title), which is going to be an analysis from a chapter of my forthcoming book. I'm not yet sure how many clips I will show, but having the ability to do so from powerpoint would be very useful. Also, I know this is a big ask, but it were possible to arrange for a screening of the film in proximity to my talk that would be good. It's necessary to follow the talk, but does help people feel more connected to its coordinates.
