Kevin Morris, PhD Student, has recently accepted the Department of Black Studies Dissertation Fellowship at UC Santa Barbara for 2024 to 2025.
Morris is a PhD student on the American Studies track focusing on 19th and 20th century African American literature and culture. Morris's current project looks to connect slave narratives and prison literature along a continuum of African American writing from the "front lines," and addresses concerns around black masculinity, black male sexualities, class, citizenship, and the law.
