Research and Teaching Interests

Professor Williams' scholarly interests include race and representation, post-colonial theory, identity formation, and visual culture of the African Diaspora, particularly the cultural production of Afro-Latinos. Within the diaspora, she is particularly interested in the circuits of cultural intellectual, and political exchange between the various black Latino, Anglophone, and francophone groups.  Her current research examines the intersection between Latin American artists like Uruguayan painter, Pedro Figari (1861-1938) and American artists in Paris during the 1920s and 30s.
