Chamara Moore is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of English, with graduate minors in Gender Studies and Screen Cultures. Her primary interests are oriented towards representations of Black womanhood in popular culture at large\u2014particularly the misogynoir present in films, TV, and comics.  Her research examines how speculative fiction writers like Nnedi Okorafor and Octavia Butler have created representations of Black women outside of the Eurocentric American imagination.
