Trica Keaton

Interdisciplinary social science best describes my research, writings, and courses which focus on the lived experience of racialization-as-black and racism in France, Western Europe, and the U.S. I am currently a member of the Editorial Collective for On Seeing, a new book series "committed to centering underrepresented perspectives in visual culture," launched by the MIT Press and Brown University Library. In addition to articles on these topics, my book publications are: #You Know You’re Black in France When...: The Fact of Everyday Antiblackness, (The MIT Press, 2023); Black France: History and the Politics of Blackness, (co-edited, Duke University Press); Black Europe and the African Diaspora, (co-edited, University of Illinois Press); and Muslim Girls and the Other France: Race, Identity Politics, and Social Exclusion (Indiana University Press). My awards include the Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Center Fellowship, the Ford Foundation, Columbia University’s Institute for Scholars Fellowship at Reid Hall in Paris, and the Chateaubriand Fellowship. I also developed and direct Afro/Black Paris Foreign Study Program at Dartmouth College.
