CUNY–The Graduate Center E-mail Author BIANCA C. WILLIAMS is an Associate Professor of Anthropology at The Graduate Center, CUNY. As a feminist cultural anthropologist, Williams’ research interests include Black women and happiness; race, gender, and emotional labor in higher education; feminist pedagogies; and Black feminist leadership, emotional wellness, and activist organizing. In her forthcoming book, The Pursuit of Happiness: Black Women, Diasporic Dreams, and the Politics of Emotional Transnationalism, Williams examines how African American women use international travel and the Internet as tools for pursuing happiness and leisure, creating intimate relationships and friendships, and critiquing American racism and sexism (Duke University Press, 2018). The investigative thread that binds Williams’ research, teaching, and service is the question “How do Black women develop strategies for enduring and resisting the effects of racism and sexism, while attempting to maintain emotional wellness?”
