Sarah Haughn received her PhD in Performance Studies with
designated emphases in Studies in Practice and Performance and
African and African American Studies. Her research considers how
processes of birth and gestation as grappled with in the
literature of Black writers elucidate the violence operative in
western metaphysics’ recurrent use of gestational language to
explain being. Scholarly interests include critical black
studies, philosophy of antagonism, gender theory, science and
technology studies, and poetics.
