Julia Tigner

Julia Tigner serves as a Marion L. Brittain Postdoctoral Fellow at the Georgia Institute of Technology, where her research centers on Black women writers across the African Diaspora and their strategic use of liminality to navigate intersecting racial and gendered spatial constraints.

Her scholarly work critically examines identity formation through spatial theory and cultural liminality, with core interests spanning African Diaspora Literature, Black Women's Studies, Gender and Race Intersectionality, and the political dimensions of movement and belonging. This research framework directly informs her teaching methodology and pedagogical approach.
