Artemesia F Stanberry is an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at North Carolina Central University, teaching American Government, Black Politics, Contemporary Black Political Thought, the U.S. Congress, and specialized courses on race, crime, and gender dynamics in electoral politics.
Her academic credentials include:
- Ph.D. in Political Science from Howard University (2004)
- M.A. from George Washington University (1997)
- B.A. from the University of South Alabama (1994)
Dr. Stanberry's research centers on criminal justice policy, specifically sentencing disparities, congressional agenda-setting for drug-related legislation, and the collateral consequences of the War on Drugs. Her work critically examines intersectionality through race, gender, and class lenses while documenting southern racial politics' evolution. She analyzes how media narratives perpetuate harmful stereotypes that influence policy outcomes affecting African American communities.
Her publications reveal consistent focus on racial disparities in drug sentencing, Congressional Black Caucus dynamics, and electoral behavior in Southern states. Key themes include the politics of crack cocaine enforcement, Georgia's criminal justice system, and race/class interactions in presidential primaries, demonstrating interdisciplinary methodology bridging political science, criminology, and critical race theory.
Currently serving as co-principal investigator on a National Science Foundation grant (2022-2025), she leads multi-campus research examining elite influence, organizational strategies, and social movements in policy formation. Her prior congressional experience (1996-2004) included roles with five Members of Congress and leadership positions in the Congressional Black Associates and Congressional Legislative Staff Association, providing practical insights for her academic work.
