Dr. Aymar Jean Christian is an Associate Professor of Communication Studies at Northwestern University. As a scholar, media producer, and social practice artist, he explores the convergence of television, video art, and creative R&D (research and development). Dr. Christian is the founder of OTV, which defines itself as, “a platform for intersectional pilots and series.” He describes intersectionality as a quality that applies to “people who have multiple forms of marginalization.” In this episode, Dr. Christian and Jabari discuss how they first met, why intersectionality in Black representation on television has a long way to go, and the importance of creative scholarship and multi-modality in the study of media.
Uncommon Naledge is hosted by Dr. Jabari Evans and edited and produced by Connor Bird
