Sandy Alexandre

Associate Professor Sandy Alexandre’s research spans the late nineteenth-century to present-day black American literature and culture. Her work takes into serious account the ways in which an ecology comprised of people, places, and things can, at once, reverberate and attempt to negotiate the various instances of racial violence that mark the aggregate of U.S. history.

Alexandre earned a PhD in English Language and Literature from the University of Virginia and a BA in English from Dartmouth College.
