Dr. Andrea Jean Queeley is Associate Professor of Anthropology and African & African Diaspora Studies at Florida International University. Her interdisciplinary research examines African diasporic formations, racial politics, and cultural practice across Caribbean and US contexts.

Research investigates intra-Caribbean migration, Cuban racial politics, and decolonial knowledge production. She collaborates on the edited volume Gloria Rolando: Memory, Liberation and the African Diaspora Through Cuban Film, amplifying marginalized voices in cultural scholarship.

Publications analyze Anglophone Caribbean communities in Cuba, diaspora-return narratives, and post-Katrina community recovery. Her work employs ethnographic and archival methods to trace connections across Black diasporic spaces.
