Francis receives Global South Fellowship
Associate professor Terri Francis has received a Global South Fellowship from the New Orleans Center for the Gulf South.
Francis will conduct research for her project, “Second Lining in New Orleans, the Afrosurreal Global South and Spike Lee’s Vernacular Sublime,” which studies and rethinks Spike Lee’s Brooklyn bohème.
She will access the collections of the Backstreet Cultural Museum, George and Leah McKenna Museum of African American Art and the Historic New Orleans Collection.
The New Orleans Center for the Gulf South is dedicated to the multidisciplinary study and preservation of the history and culture of the Central Gulf South. The fellowship is funded by Tulane University.
