Profs. Dagbovie-Mullins & Berlatsky — Mixed Race Superheroes Coffee Colloquium, 2/22 @ 1pm

As part of the Center for Body, Mind, and Culture's Coffee Colloquium Spring 2022 Lecture Series, Profs. Dagbovie-Mullins and Berlatsky will present "Mixed-Race Superheroes" on Tuesday, 2/22 @ 1pm on Zoom.

Abstract: While racial mixedness and superheroes may not initially seem to be interrelated, they are both historically and currently linked. In an effort to reveal and explore this connection, our talk, based on our book of the same name, will examine representations of racial mixedness (both literal and metaphorical or symbolic) that take on, challenge, or complicate the stereotypes and romanticization of mixed-race identities and the idea of the superhero.
