Adrián López Denis

Postdoctoral Fellow in International Humanities, History Department

Adrián López Denis is writing a book about the impact of epidemics on the articulation of modern sanitary practices in the Spanish Caribbean during the long nineteenth century. Combining insights coming from the historiography of slavery, science, and colonialism, this work is an attempt to explain the emergence of hybrid forms of both healing and policing the body of the nation. His ultimate goal is to explore the epistemic consequences of recasting Western medicine as an Atlantic, rather than a European invention.

Meida Teresa McNeal

Post-doctoral Scholar, Dept. of Theatre, Speech and Dance, Brown University

Meida Teresa McNeal received her M.F.A. in Choreography from Ohio State University and her PhD in Performance Studies at Northwestern University. Her research combines critical and performance ethnography to interrogate black and brown cultural nationalisms across the Americas. Her current scope of work crosses three overlapping axes: mapping local/global formations and circulations of cultural performance; developing collaborative scholarship models and content; and integrating digital scholarship methodologies alongside written and performed modalities.

Currently, Meida is revising her dissertation into a book manuscript. Her comparative ethnographic study unpacks relationships between the ‘local’ and ‘transnational’ as intertwined characteristics of Trinidadian dance/cultural production throughout the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Connecting a historical reading to the present, McNeal contrasts earlier generations of Trinidadian dance artists with contemporary generations who envision new frameworks for producing their art outside a discourse of nationalism/state patronage. Many are seeking alternative economic models in the private sector – effectively transforming artists into businesspeople – in order to cultivate self-sustaining solutions to foster their work; many as well see international travel and collaboration as part of national cultural development. Indeed, these contemporary artists mark a generational shift as they redefine what kind of materials/influences can be accessed to create "nationalist" art.
