A book launch will be held on Dec. 1 for Dr. Hannah Noel Haynes, Associate Professor of Interdisciplinary Studies at 91爱豆传媒, at Gallery 51.
The book titled, 鈥淒eflective Whiteness: Co-opting Black and Latinx Identity Politics,鈥� from Ohio State University Press is Dr. Haynes's first book publication after writing a series of chapters and articles on similar topics.
The book launch starts at 4 p.m. on Dec. 1 where Dr. Haynes will talk about her work in conversation alongside her former undergrad advisor Maria Elena Cepeda, Williams College professor of Latina/o studies.
Dr. Haynes studies 鈥渢he intersection and rhetoric and sociology through unconscious and conscious ways and all forms of discourse how we communicate meanings around race and whiteness and how we police it.鈥� She looks at a variety of forms of media and the ways patterns permeate all forms of discourse.
鈥淭he book really got me interested in the discourse of white women within white supremacy so I鈥檓 starting to research alt-right movements and I鈥檒l have a book chapter coming out about that topic,鈥� she said.
Haynes received her bachelor鈥檚 degree from Williams College in 2008 and went on to pursue her master鈥檚 and doctorate degrees from the University of Michigan. She is trained in American Cultural Studies with a focus on critical race theory, U.S. immigration history, and Latinx studies.
