Pathways to Publishing: From Dissertation to Book
Presentation by Saida Grundy, Assistant Professor of Sociology, African American & Black Diaspora Studies, and Women’s and Gender Studies at Boston University
Saida Grundy is a feminist sociologist of race & ethnicity. Her research to date has focused upon formations and ideologies of gender and racialization within the Black middle class–specifically men. Using in-depth interviews, her current work examines graduates of Morehouse College, the nation’s only historically Black college for men. Quite simply, this work asks how, in light of an ongoing national climate and discourse about young Black men “in crisis,” the men of Morehouse experience racialization and the process of “making” manhood at an institution that frames Black male elites as the solution to the crisis and the rightful representatives of the racial agendas. Her most recent book, Respectable: Politics and Paradox in Making the Morehouse Man (University of California Press, 2022), expands upon this work.
