Sebastian Jackson is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology and Faculty Affiliate of the Carter G. Woodson Institute for African American and African Studies at the University of Virginia. His work focuses on race, intimacy, and the legacies of settler colonialism in the Atlantic world, with a particular emphasis on South Africa and the United States. Jackson holds a Ph.D. from Harvard University (2022), an M.Phil. from the University of Cambridge (2014), an M.Sc. from the University of Oxford (2013), and a B.A. from the University of Maine at Farmington (2008).
His research integrates historical and ethnographic methods, examining the cultural and social impacts of apartheid-era laws, such as the 'Immorality Laws,' which prohibited interracial relationships. His book project, *Realizing the Rainbow Nation: Negotiating Race, Intimacy, and Belonging in South Africa*, analyzes how post-apartheid South Africa navigates racial divides through evolving social norms, digital technologies, and global media. Fieldwork conducted in Cape Town and Stellenbosch from 2012 to 2020 underpins this work.
