Johanna Sellman

In most Gulf countries, slavery wasn’t officially banned until the 1960s or 1970s, and anti-black racism continues to be a social ill. This racial justice grant award will address locating racial justice perspectives about and from the Gulf region, particularly those created by writers and artists of African descent. Sellman will also feature guest speakers who are scholars of race and citizenship in the Gulf.
