I have an new essay in differences! “New Material for the Old Ceremony” is a deconstruction of Lynn Margulis’s Origins of Sex, her downright weird writings on politics, and new materialists who see liberatory potential in microbiology (happy to share the PDF!)

This just showed up on the TL and it’s one of my favorite analyses of my play. Slave Play was indebted to so many black academics chiefly Tavia Nyong’o who was my professor when I wrote it. To have written a play that’s inspired so many academics is a dream come true.

I am so honored to be a new member of the editorial team @differences_DUP I remember picking up a copy of volume 1, number 1 in @Gleebooks in 1989. It was pretty, and the work was galvanizing. And it's been a central part of my intellectual life ever since. Send us your work!
