10/27/2023
Join the Black Beyond Data Reading Group this Friday, October 27 for a presentation by and discussion with Isar Godreau, Investigadora/Researcher at the Instituto de Investigaciones Interdisciplinarias at the Universidad de Puerto Rico in Cayey. Her research and publications, including Arrancando mitos de raíz: guía para la enseñanza antirracista de la herencia africana en Puerto Rico (2013) and Scripts of Blackness: Race, Cultural Nationalism, and U.S. Colonialism in Puerto Rico (2015 by University of Illinois Press and winner of the Frank Bonilla best book award), explore issues of “race,” racism, blackness, and identity in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. She has published on hair, racial terminology, the folklorization of blackness, census racial categories, the effects of racism in Puerto Rican schools, and more recently on the combined effects of colonialism and neoliberalism on higher education in Puerto Rico.
Dr. Godreau studied at the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras and later obtained her Ph.D in cultural anthropology from the University of California Santa Cruz (1999).
