The mission of South Side Scholar is to provide analysis, information and commentary on a wide variety of topics affecting young black people today, through the viewpoint of one young black woman in graduate school. The blog will focus on issues including, but not limited to, politics, popular culture, fitness & health, as well as spirituality and occasionally the travails of graduate school life. Conversation is welcome and encouraged, so please feel free to jump right in and participate in the debate!
Bio:
I am a graduate student working on my Ph.D in Political Science in Chicago. Originally from Detroit, MI, I received my B.A. in Political Science and African-American Studies. My research interests are around race & gender in American politics. More specifically, I study black counter-politics, particularly black feminism, the politics of hip-hop and police brutality.
