Yeah, I Got a F#%*ing Job With a Liberal Arts Degree is a show that takes a deep look at the humanities and higher education more generally. Join professor of history and humanities Dean Jeff Crane as he interviews a range of guests about the value of the liberal arts and education as a personal and public good.
Our guest for this episode is Dr. DeLisa D. Hawkes , an African American Studies scholar and an affiliate faculty member of the Department of English and the Women, Gender, and Sexuality Program at the University of Tennessee. Her areas of study include Nineteenth- to Twenty-First-Century African American Literature, African American Studies, Native American and Indigenous Studies, with a current focus on literary depictions of interactions between African Americans and Native Americans during the nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. Her work has been supported by several fellowships and grants and her research and writing has been published widely in several publications.
This episode looks at the role of literature in research, questioning what makes some works canonical and why others are left out, and the shared love and appreciation that DeLisa and Jeff both have for Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston.
