University of Minnesota Twin Citiesمعرفی
K.C. Harrison is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Social Work at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, where their scholarly focus centres on the intersections of African-American literature, narrative authority, and sound studies.
Research interests span the cultural and literary dimensions of radio, audiobooks, and the broader soundscape of African-American narrative traditions. Through close readings of authors such as Toni Morrison, Ralph Ellison, and William S. Burroughs, Harrison interrogates how technological and sonic mediums reshape literary authority and readerly engagement.
Recent publications (2011, 2014) trace the evolution of narrative authority in African-American texts, highlighting the role of sound technologies—from mid-century radio to contemporary audiobooks—in transforming textual reception and interpretive frameworks.
While no major awards are listed, Harrison’s work has garnered international attention, reflected in 3 Scopus citations and 5 Mendeley readers for each publication, alongside references in 5 Wikipedia pages.
