\"\"Fely Catan<\/strong>
Assistant Professor of Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures, Affiliate Faculty in Africana Studies
<\/em>Email: <\/strong>Fely_Catan@pitzer.edu<\/a>
Bio:<\/strong> F\u00e9ly Catan was born and raised in Paris, France, from a Guadeloupean family. She earned a BA in Spanish Arts at the Sorbonne Universit\u00e9 in 2009. She pursued her studies at the University of Texas at Brownsville where she graduated with a MA in Spanish in 2011. These years spent on the border region of the Rio Grande Valley developed in her an interest in transnational studies and questions related to identities and belongings. At the University of Wisconsin-Madison she earned a master’<\/span>s degree in French literature in 2014. At the University of Miami, Florida, she was able to combine her interest in both languages and cultures by pursuing a PhD in Romance languages with a concentration in Caribbean studies. Her current research interests include: <\/span>Contemporary Caribbean narratives, Caribbean popular culture particularly that of the Francophone\/Creolophone and Hispanophone Caribbean, colonial\u00a0and postcolonial theory, decolonial studies, nation and (non)-sovereignty, migration and transnational studies.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/b>Associate Professor of Africana Studies<\/em><\/p>\r\n

PhD, University of California, Berkeley<\/p>\r\n

Email: <\/strong>J.Finley@pomona.edu<\/a>
Bio:<\/strong> Dr. J Finley is an interdisciplinary scholar who studies black women\u2019s history, performance, and cultural expression. Her current research focuses on the performative and political efficacy of black women\u2019s humor and comedy. Specifically, Dr. Finley conducts ethnographic fieldwork and applies multidisciplinary readings of humor and comedic materials, paying close attention to how various aspects of history, identity and experience influence and saturate black women\u2019s comedy. Her manuscript-in-progress examines the historical and contemporary landscape of black women\u2019s humor to better understand comedians and their comedy as wide-ranging in terms of expressive tactics and themes, yet cohesive as a genre of black expressive culture. Additionally, her work examines black feminist theory and politics, and the challenges presented to black women across space, time, and political orientation.<\/p>\r\n

Dr. Finley\u2019s teaching interests include black feminist theories, popular culture, struggles for black liberation, and humor studies. In addition to teaching courses on the history and theoretical aspects of stand-up comedy, she also teaches her students the practice of stand-up comedy based on her own experience as an amateur performer, and her experience and knowledge from working with professional comedians and comedy educators.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
