The Ulrich Museum of Art welcomes NEH Fellowship Award-winning writer and scholar Dr. Derrais Carter to speak on his research, which examines Black masculinity, Black queer culture and Black popular music at 6 p.m. Thursday, March 27 in 210 McKnight Art Center.
Carter’s presentation will closely connect to themes represented in the exhibition “Devan Shimoyama: Rituals” (currently on display in the museum’s Polk/Wilson Gallery), and will give fresh context and new perspectives to the works. Having formerly taught in the Department of Gender & Women’s Studies at the University of Arizona, Carter is now associate professor in the Department of Africana Studies at University of Massachusetts, Boston.
