Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Center for Environmental Humanities, Brown University

Cherod Johnson is a postdoctoral research associate at the Center for Environmental Humanities at Brown University. Their research focuses on black queer ecologies, decolonial theories of the Anthropocene, and the everyday climate ruptures that shape black diasporic thought and its aesthetic expressions. Their current book manuscript analyzes how black cultural producers leverage cold weather and other climatic forces to theorize Black revolt and resistance, reframing climate change through the environmental afterlives of slavery and the limits of repair.
