Continued Disparate Discipline: Theorizing State Takeover Districts’ Impact on the Continued Oppression of Black Girls
The state takeover of schools in predominantly Black communities has not disrupted the racial subjugation of Black girls. Using proportional analyses and Detroit, Memphis, and New Orleans as research sites, we find that the takeover of school districts does not produce statistically weaker associations with the use of harsh disciplinary practices against Black girls. This finding is important in the context of education reform, as researchers beg…
Diversity of Artists in Major U.S. Museums
The U.S. art museum sector is grappling with diversity.

We conduct the first large-scale study of artist diversity in museums. By scraping the public online catalogs of 18 major U.S. museums, deploying a sample of 10,000 artist records comprising over 9,000 unique artists to crowdsour…
A Demographic Paradox: How Public School Students in New Orleans Have Become More Racially Integrated and Isolated Since Hurricane Katrina
Following the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans public schools underwent a variety of changes including a mass influx of charter schools as well as a demographic shift in the racial composition of the district. Using school-level data from the Louisiana Department of Education, this study examines the extent that New Orleans public schools are more or less racially integrated, racially segregated, and concentrated by poverty almost a deca…

Daringly Experimental and Versatile”: African Arts and the Contemporary
It's fair to say that African Arts' 1993 coverage (vol. 26, no. 1) of the Center for African Art's exhibition “Africa Explores: 20th Century African Art” constitutes a watershed moment in the journal's relationship with contemporary African art. Including wildly differing reviews by Olu Oguibe and Francesco Pellizzi as well as a response to them by Sidney Kasfir, the journal used the 1991 exhibition as a vehicle for thinking about the state of co…
L'histoire de l'art aux États-Unis et le tournant vers la mondialité
Depuis des débuts profondément régionaux, l'histoire de l'art aux États-Unis a évolué pour devenir une des ressources mondiales majeures sur le plan de l'édition, de la pédagogie et des expositions. Au regard des utopies initiales de « transnationalisme » et de cosmopolitisme qui ont émergé à l'aube du xxe siècle, nous affirmons que les obsessions actuelles à propos de la mondialisation ne sont pas simplement la conséquence du consensus induit pa…

Transgressive Transcendence in the Photographs of Rotimi Fani-Kayode
Rotimi Fani-Kayode died of complications due to AIDS on December 21, 1989. During his career, which spanned a mere six years, he produced an oeuvre that takes notions of migration, a quintessential otherness, and the interrogation of history as the roots of its evocative force, and his photographic practice served as a means to produce sensuous tableaux that question power and transgress boundaries erected between Africa and the West as well as s…
