With main authors Mariame Kaba and Kelly M. Hayes, I did layout and wrote an introduction for a zine on race, politics, and protest, “White People Hate Protest,” based on historical data from public opinion polls.
I also worked with artist and illustrator Molly McIntyre on several comic collaborations, including When We Sing/Puff The Puffy Diaper/Grocery Store (watercolors and words) in Maternal Journal (a publication of Artist Mother Studio).
I’m pleased to be doing more collaborative work alongside my own ethnographic research and writing. I think that collaborative work, as well as creative work, is something that adds to public and scholarly writing, bringing fresh perspectives and new ideas into the mix.
2019 will see more of the same as well as new ventures, including a series of public workshops on the criminalization of survivors of domestic violence based on a pilot project from 2018. I have several research projects in the works, and will continue to write and teach and consult. If you’re interested in booking zine workshops, guest lectures, public panels, digital pedagogy workshops, or having tough conversations facilitated, contact me at cchernoffphd@gmail.com.
