Welcoming Dr. Tiana U. Wilson

In September 2023, Dr. Tiana U. Wilson will join the Department of Africana Studies. Dr. Wilson will be a postdoctoral fellow in the African American Studies Department at the Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) in State College, PA for 2023-24 academic year.  Her research and teaching interests include Black women’s internationalism, Black women’s intellectual history, Third World Feminism, social movements, and solidarity practices of the twentieth century. Her book project, “Revolution and Struggle: The Enduring Legacy of the Third World Women’s Alliance (TWWA), 1968–2010,” offers the first comprehensive study of the largest Black-led multiracial feminist group of the 1970s. Tracing TWWA members’ ideas, grassroots activism, and transnational networks, Dr. Wilson’s research restores the international roots of Black Feminism as theorized by African American women.
