Fiona Maurissette is a Visiting Lecturer in the Writing Program at Wellesley College, specializing in Black diasporic literature and cultural studies. Her work bridges academic research with contemporary explorations of identity and resistance in the Black Atlantic world.
Her educational background includes:
- B.A., Wellesley College
- M.S., St. John's University-New York
- M.A., Tufts University
- Ph.D., Tufts University
Dr. Maurissette's research focuses on Black speculative fiction and Afrofuturism as frameworks for understanding Haitian diasporic experiences, maroonage, and Black feminist thought. She examines how cultural production challenges historical narratives of oppression while envisioning liberatory futures.
She currently teaches AFR223: "Narrating the Black Atlantic: The Past, Present, and Future of Black Literature", analyzing texts by Octavia Butler, Edwidge Danticat, and N.K. Jemisin to explore the transatlantic slave trade's cultural legacy and Black futurity across the diaspora.
