The Arts are Crucial
Hellooo and welcome back to season 2 of the Empowered Podcast! Stay tuned for MORE inspirational conversations with women of color Today, joining me is Dr. Emanuela Kucik, Dr. Kucik is an Assistant Professor of English Literature and Writing and Africana Studies and the Director of the Africana Studies Program at Muhlenberg College, where she was recently named the Inaugural Faculty Fellow for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Dr. Kucik’s interdisciplinary research and courses explore the intersections of literature, genocide, race, and human rights violations, and her forthcoming book, The Black Blood of Genocide: Tracing Genocide in Post-Holocaust African Diasporic Literature, focuses on how Black populations have used the concept of genocide to write about anti-Black violence. Most importantly, Dr. Kucik is indescribably proud to be the daughter of the two people she admires most in the world, Hyacinth Kucik and the late George Kucik; it is the greatest honor of her life to be their child, and she is eternally grateful for the gift of growing up wrapped in the warmth of their love.
