GerShun Avilez received his Ph.D. in English from the University of Pennsylvania, where he also earned a Graduate Certificate in Africana Studies. He has taught at Yale University and held the Frederick Douglass Post-doctoral Fellowship at the University of Rochester. He is a cultural studies scholar who specializes in contemporary African American literature and visual culture and 20th century American literature in general. His teaching extends to the literature of the Black Diaspora. Much of his scholarship explores how questions of gender and sexuality inform artistic production. He also works in the fields of political radicalism, spatial theory, and legal studies. His book Radical Aesthetics & Modern Black Nationalism is forthcoming from the University of Illinois Press in 2016 as a part of “The New Black Studies” Series. The book investigates how Black nationalist rhetoric impacted African American artistic experimentation in the late 20th and 21st centuries through an examination of drama, novels, poetry film, and visual art. He is at work on a new book-length project on Black sexuality and artistic culture as well as shorter projects on (1) rethinking 20th century African American literary history and (2) temporality in contemporary drama. Throughout his work and teaching, he is committed to studying a wide variety of art forms, including, drama, fiction, non-fiction, film, poetry, visual and performance art, ethnography, and comic books. During Fall 2015, he is the Arts @ The Core Curatorial Fellow. As a fellow, he will research and select a series of 2-3 performances on civil rights for Carolina Performing Arts that will premiere during the 2016-17 school year. He serves on the Editorial Board of the Encyclopedia of American Studies (http://eas-ref.press.jhu.edu/) and on the Ethos: A Digital Review of Arts, Humanities & Public Ethics (http://ethosreview.org).
