• Poetry
• Creative Writing
• African American Literature
• +۴ مورد دیگر

Ruth Ellen Kocher serves as a Distinguished Professor in the Department of English, where she maintains an active presence in both creative and critical scholarship. Her academic identity is deeply rooted in contemporary poetry and literary criticism, with particular emphasis on African American literary traditions and experimental forms that challenge conventional boundaries of expression. Her educational foundation was established through doctoral studies at Arizona State University, completed in 2006, which provided the theoretical and practical framework for her interdisciplinary approach to literature and creative writing. Ph.D., Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ (2006) Kocher's research traverses the dynamic intersection of creative practice and critical theory, exploring how poetic form can interrogate complex themes of race, gender, spirituality, and diaspora. Her work consistently demonstrates a commitment to linguistic innovation while addressing urgent social questions, particularly through the lens of Black existential experience. The evolution of her scholarship reveals a sustained engagement with multiplicity of identity, as seen in early critical analyses of modernist women writers and more recent poetic investigations of personhood and afterlife. Her creative output functions as both artistic expression and theoretical intervention, often employing fragmented narratives and unconventional structures to challenge dominant cultural narratives. Analysis of her publication trajectory shows a clear progression from foundational critical work on modernist literature to increasingly experimental poetic forms that engage with contemporary social justice movements. Early pieces like "Janus-faced women" (1999) established her scholarly voice in gender and modernism studies, while collections such as "Desdemona's Fire" (1999) demonstrated her poetic range. The 2015 work "#29linesonblacknessforwhitepoetsandpoliceman" marks a significant engagement with police brutality and racial politics, and her 2024 publication "Personhood, Spirit, and Afterlife" represents the culmination of decades exploring spiritual dimensions of Black experience through innovative poetic structures.

María Regina Firmino-Castillo serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Dance at the University of California, Riverside, where she teaches graduate seminars and undergraduate courses centered on transdisciplinary and anticolonial approaches to bodily studies. Her academic home situates her at the intersection of performance practices, critical theory, and decolonial methodologies within a major research university context. Her educational background includes a PhD in Transdisciplinary Studies from the California Institute of Integral Studies and doctoral training in Cultural Anthropology at the University of New Mexico. This dual foundation enables her unique epistemological approach that interrogates disciplinary boundaries while focusing on the transcorporeal body as a site of ontological production and resistance against colonial power structures.

Her work bridges critical theory with embodied practice through collaborations with Ixil knowledge-holders in Guatemala, Be'ena'Za'a (Zapotec) artists in México, and interdisciplinary collectives across the Americas. Key thematic threads include ontological regeneration after genocide, paradoxical performance against necropower, crepuscular bodily politics, and pluriversal knowledge systems that challenge colonial taxonomies. Her methodology consistently integrates scholarly research with performance practice as vehicles for onto-corporeal investigation. Her scholarly output demonstrates consistent engagement with critical dance studies, indigenous performance, and decolonial theory across journals like Dance Research Journal , Transmotion , and Imaginations , with recent works exploring Xibalbá mythology, ouroboric theory, and transmotions across colonial borders.
