DR. DANIELLE FUENTES MORGAN

Dr. Morgan specializes in African American literature in the 20th and 21st centuries. She is interested in the ways that literature, popular culture, and humor shape identity formation. In particular, her research and teaching reflect her interests in African-American satire and comedy, literature and the arts as activism, and the continuing influence of history on contemporary articulations of Black selfhood. Her book, Laughing to Keep from Dying: African American Satire in the Twenty-First Century, was published in the Fall of 2020 with the University of Illinois Press as a part of the New Black Studies Series.
