Tiffany Boyle, PhD candidate in the Department of History of Art and Screen Media, will be presenting her research on sport in African-American Culture at the University of California, Berkeley in March.
Tiffany will be presenting her paper 'The Schism Between Afrofuturism and Sport in African-America Culture: Rereading the Anxiety Towards Black Athletes Post 9/11' at the conference Speculative Visions of Race, Technology, Science and Survival.
The paper builds upon a previous curatorial project with the concept of Afrofuturism as its thematic focus, which was presented as an artist film and video programme in collaboration with the Centre for Contemporary Arts, Glasgow, and the Africa-in-Motion Film Festival.

More details about the conference can be found on Berkeley's Centre for Race & Gender website.
