Examining black 'transness' through contemporary media
Cornell Chronicle
For C. Riley Snorton, assistant professor of Africana studies and of feminist, gender and sexuality studies in Cornell’s College of Arts and Sciences, winning a coveted National Endowment for the Humanities-Schomburg Center Scholar-in-Residence fellowship is the chance of a lifetime. He will examine a topic that has intrigued him since college, when he first self-identified as a transgender person – and write a book about it.
