Matthew Milbourne

Matthew Milbourne's research pursues an engagement with African American literature, literary and critical theory, and the textual and cultural engendering of racialized bodies. Matthew is invested in exploring the condition of possibility, context of emergence, and (re)signifying potential of a poetics/politics that not only articulates a critique of racialization and coloniality but in doing so also harbours new forms of subterranean imaginaries.
