Dr. Kevin Winstead has been named a Center for Black, Brown, and Queer (BBQ+) Studies 2023-2024 Fellow. BBQ+ activates, connects, and mobilizes educators, researchers, and activists from marginalized communities. The BBQ+ Academic Fellowship Program provides mentorship, career development advice, and writing support to underrepresented scholars (broadly and intersectionally defined) as they establish themselves within academic institutions or as independent educators and researchers. This marks the second year an African American Studies faculty member has been awarded as a fellow, with Dr. Alyssa P. Cole awarded in 2023.
