Karma Chameleon- Part II

What this episode covers

In this second podcast episode of a two-part conversation, Dr. Jacqueline Hidalgo, Dr. Elías Ortega-Aponte, and Dr. Santiago Slabodsky continue to explore what we learn about the entanglements of Jewish, Black, and Latinx identities through the case of Jessica A. Krug. The three scholars take a cue from the recent writings of professors Touré Reed and Lauren Michele Jackson, and examine how the academy enabled Krug's Black-face minstrel performance. Noting how the US academic system categorizes and delimits the place of scholars of color, Dr. Slabodsky, Dr. Ortega-Aponte, and Dr. Hidalgo discuss the role that gender and Latinidades played in Krug's performance, one that appears specifically designed to appeal to the desires of white academic contexts.
