The Race & Ethnicity Study Group, CRE2: Adéyemi Doss, Belonging Nowhere: Navigating Loss and Memory in Urban Black Male Lives
The Center for the Study of Race, Ethnicity, and Equity at WashU welcomes faculty and graduate students from all St. Louis area campuses interested in race and ethnicity as categories of analysis in a broad variety of transdisciplinary contemporary and historical cultural studies work.
Dr. Adéyemi Doss is an assistant professor in the Department of African American Studies at Saint Louis University. Dr. Doss’s research interests are shaped by a growing trend toward producing scholarships that address issues facing African American men and boys. His research raises important questions about Black subjectivity, patterns of Black spatial mobility, and embodied resistance. Through his research, Dr. Doss sheds light on the challenges African American men and boys encounter as they navigate their way through American society. He examines how these individuals grapple with issues of identity, mobility, and resistance within the context of urban environments.
