I’m an associate professor in NYU’s Department of Social and Cultural Analysis.

“The Personal, the Political”

Brenna McBride of Haverford College's magazine traveled to New York a couple of months ago to interview me about my teaching and The Trouble with Unity, and the article went live on the college website today; check it out here. Like other faculty profiles, it's a mix of biography, current research interests, and teaching stories. Strangely, the accompanying photo has me in front of another Haverford professor's chalkboard notes, giving the impression that I teach not only political theory but physics. Now that's interdisciplinary!Cristina teaches!

    As you point out, the concept of race serves as a politically anechoic chamber, in that it refracts meaning back onto various bodies. So the reference to a Faraday cage makes a certain kind of sense.
