The New Conversation with Lisa B. Thompson

By Kaulie Watson November 14, 2022 facebook twitter email

Lisa B. Thompson, a professor of African and African diaspora studies at The University of Texas at Austin and a celebrated author and playwright, is also a Presidential Visiting Scholar at The New School for 2022-23. As part of the university’s New Conversation Series, The New School’s president Dwight A. McBride recently interviewed Thompson about her work as an artist-scholar and how she uses her teaching to give students creative liberty. You can watch the video here or in the video player below, and for more on Thompson’s work, check out Life & Letters’ profile of her from our Fall 2021 issue.
