RESEARCH AGENDA
Derrick’s research agenda focuses on African American culture broadly defined employing a multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary analysis to a broad range of topics. The drive behind his research agenda was to understand the African American experience holistically and intersectionally– history, art/culture, legal, media and gender, class, sexualities, place, age while using frameworks that centered African Americans–womanism, Afrofuturism, and the Black Southern aesthetic, initatic identity, and web of networks.
