Holly Genovese

I am a Ph.D student in American Studies and and am also completing graduate portfolio programs in African and African Diaspora Studies and Women's and Gender Studies. I am currently an affiliate of the Warfield Center and an Urban Ethnography Fellow. My work focuses on black power, prison literature, and black poetics and I hope to explore Black cultural resistance to incarceration in the American South in my dissertation. Other interests include Hip Hop Feminism, young adult literature, and popular culture. My article, "Not a Myth: Quakers and Racial Justice" was published in the March 2015 issue of Quaker Studies. My writing and criticism has been published in Teen Vogue, The LA Review of Books, Electric Literature, Literary Hub, The Washington Post and many other places.
