Transnational Black Citizenship
The Humanities & Arts discovery theme, Transnational Black Citizenship Project, will engage faculty throughout the university in developing a humanities-based “think tank” that, through pedagogy and research, will make Ohio State a destination for faculty, postdocs and students who are invested in critical studies of transnational black citizenship. This project will analyze the question, "what is blackness?" — which is less about the study of black people than about defining, studying and teaching about blackness in the 21st century. https://u.osu.edu/transnationalblackcitizenship/
