Chelsea Mikael Frazier is an Assistant Professor in the field of Literatures in English at Cornell University. She engages in scholarship that lies at the intersection of Black feminist literature, visual culture, and environmental humanities. Her academic interests include Black feminist literature theory, ecocriticism, and African art literature, alongside political theory and science technology studies. Currently, she is working on a book manuscript that performs an ecocritical study of contemporary Black women artists, writers, and activists. This research interrogates how dominant theoretical frameworks in environmental studies challenge the visibility of Black feminist ecoethics manifested in Black women’s environmental writing and activism within the African diaspora. Dr. Frazier’s research has received generous support from the Northwestern University Presidential Society Fellows, the Science and Human Culture program, and various other prestigious fellowships. Her published work has appeared in the Journal of Critical Ethnic Studies and the edited volume 'Ecologies, Agents, Terrains' by Yale University Press.
