Zakiyyah Iman Jackson is Associate Professor of Theory in the Department of Literature at Duke University and the author of the multi-award-winning book, Becoming Human: Matter and Meaning in an Antiblack World. Jackson’s research examines how black diasporic literature, moving image, and visual art engage—and transform—the historical concerns, epistemologies, and rhetoric of Western science and philosophy. Her work reveals the disavowed literary and aesthetic dimensions of these disciplines while clarifying the constitutive role of antiblackness in their metaphysical frameworks. Jackson’s work has appeared in journals including Feminist Studies, e-flux, GLQ, Qui Parle, South Atlantic Quarterly, and Catalyst: Feminism, Theory, and Technoscience, as well as in exhibition catalogues for the Hammer Museum, the Whitney Biennial, the Venice Architecture Biennale, the Whitechapel Gallery, and Studio Museum in Harlem.
