Dasharah Green (she/ her/ hers) PS2 Presidential Research Fellow, Public Scholarship.
Dasharah was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. She uses experiences
growing up in her, pre-gentrified, Bedford Stuyvesant neighborhood as a
backdrop to explore the intersections of Blackness. Her early interests
trickled down to inspire her academic career as she went on to earn a
Bachelor’s degree in English honors, with a double minor in Africana
Studies honors and Political Science, from John Jay College. In May
2020, Dasharah graduated from St. John’s University with a Master’s
degree in English. She is currently an adjunct in Baruch College’s
Black and Latino/a Studies Department. As a fourth year PhD candidate in
the English department, Dasharah is currently working on her
dissertation – which explores the genealogy of Black women’s
storytelling, from the early 20th century to present day. She is
specifically focusing on how these writers contribute to a borderless
literary culture and reimagine/rethorize archival materials as a means
of storytelling.
