CUFSS presents “American Fiction,” which follows a frustrated African-American novelist-professor who writes an outlandish satire of stereotypical “Black” books — only for it to be mistaken for serious literature and published to high sales and critical praise.
In this session, Education Professor Raphael Rogers will share details about his latest project, “Representing Black Girl Magic with Contemporary Picture Books.”
Education Professor Raphael Rogers and picture book Author Mariahadessa Ekere Tallie will discuss the role contemporary picture books written by Black women can play in helping teachers respond to the absence of Blackness and Anti-Blackness in elementary-level classrooms.
