Mari N. Crabtree is an Associate Professor of African American and Africana Studies and History at Emerson College, within the Marlboro Institute for Liberal Arts and Interdisciplinary Studies. Her interdisciplinary work bridges Black studies, cultural studies, history, and literature.
Her educational background:
- A.B., Amherst College
- M.A., Cornell University
- Ph.D., Cornell University
Crabtree's research focuses on excavating Black life beyond the binary of suffering or resistance, exploring how culture illuminates the struggle for Black liberation alongside Black ingenuity, joy, and love. Her book, My Soul Is a Witness: The Traumatic Afterlife of Lynching, published by Yale University Press, examines the enduring impact of lynching. She is currently working on two projects: a book of essays titled Co-Opted: Essays on Black Studies and Ethical Praxis in the Age of Neoliberalism and a monograph Guile: The Pleasures and Political Utility of Subversion in the African American Cultural Tradition, which investigates the role of guile, deception, and humor in African American culture.
Her scholarly contributions include essays in Raritan, Rethinking History, Contemporaries, and the Chronicle of Higher Education.
