Jehan L. Roberson is a writer, educator, and interdisciplinary scholar affiliated with Cornell University's Department of Literatures in English. She teaches courses such as ENGL 1140: FWS: Writing Medicine: Stories of Illness and Healing. Her research focuses on early 20th-century Black literary movements, transnational solidarity among writers of the Harlem Renaissance, Negritude, and Negrismo, and their efforts to redefine Blackness globally. She holds a BA from the University of Missouri, an MA from New York University, and another MA from Cornell University.
Her work intersects with postcolonial studies, queer theory, and performance studies, informed by her role as former Collections Specialist for the Hemispheric Institute Digital Video Library. She publishes in journals like Women & Performance and Public Books, and co-edits Ampersand, an experimental section of Women & Performance: a journal of feminist theory.
Jehan is a 2017 and 2018 Public Performance Art Fellow with Betty’s Daughter Arts Collaborative and founder of Latitudes, an organization exploring Black radical literary archives in the Americas. Her creative and academic practices emphasize decolonizing narratives and amplifying marginalized voices through text and performance.
