Tiffany Willoughby-Herard is a new associate professor in the Department of Global and International Studies, but not a new face to the UCI campus. For the past 16 years, she’s been a faculty member in the Department of African American Studies in the School of Humanities. Bringing together approaches from both the humanities and social sciences, Willoughby-Herard investigates the function of race and enslavement in national identity, which has implications for theories of citizenship, immigration, democracy and justice. In a new video, she discusses her plans to collaborate and grow with the department’s many young scholars who focus on the Global South.
