about me

Dr. Jasper Lauderdale teaches film history and historiography, feminist media, body genres, and Black Studies at Brooklyn College, Hunter College, and Pace University. He holds a doctorate in cinema studies from Tisch School of the Arts, New York University, and his research focuses on race, gender, sexuality, and temporality in radical speculative art, with particular emphasis on reparative hermeneutics, the supernatural body, the surreal, and the liberatory transformation of given materials. Jasper trained as a documentary filmmaker and editor at Appalshop in Whitesburg, Kentucky, and his work for such artists as Lydie Diakhaté, Manthia Diawara, Amie Siegel, and David Hammons has shown at the 56th Venice Biennale, the 23rd New York African Film Festival at Lincoln Center, Dia:Chelsea, and Dak’art 2018. Recent scholarship can be found in Screen Bodies, Black Camera, and Synoptique, as well as the anthologies The Routledge Handbook of Remix Studies and Screening Women Filmmakers.
