She loves connecting artists of all types with rare books, manuscripts, archives, and historical materials, and watching the inspiration that ensues.

Dr. Jafari Allen, Associate Professor of African American Studies, and Anthropology; and the Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program Director of Graduate Studies, UM. Dr. Allen’s scholarship seeks to offer new or re- methods of narrative theorizing in anthropology, Black diaspora studies, and feminist and queer studies.
