On Thursday, February 9, 2023, the Center of Excellence, the Center for Languages, Literatures, and Cultures, the Department of French and Italian and the Department of Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies were proud to host Dr. Maboula Soumahoro at the Ohio State University. Reading excerpts from Black is the Journey, Africana the Name, the English translation of her book Le Triangle et l'hexagone : Réflexions sur une identité noire (Éditions La Découverte, 2020), we had the great pleasure of hearing her comment on this work, which discusses the African diaspora beyond hexagonal France.
Maboula Soumahoro is an English lecturer at l'université François-Rabelais in Tours, France, where she received her PhD. In 2021, she was the inaugural resident of the Villa Albertine in Atlanta. This academic year, she is International Visiting Scholar of French at Bennington College and is working at Columbia University as a part of the Mellon Project.
