Shattering Black Flesh: Julius Fleming in Conversation

Dr. Julius Fleming discusses his essay “Shattering Black Flesh: Black Intellectual Writing in the Age of Ferguson,” with Elizabeth Catchmark, in the context of the Academic Writing program and English 101 at the University of Maryland. Catchmark draws upon student questions to structure the conversation. The English 101 syllabus features Fleming’s essay in part because it demonstrates the intersections between academic writing and public discourse. Fleming's analysis reveals the porous boundaries between intellectual and public work and highlights the urgent need to think capaciously and write powerfully about racialized boundaries. Dr Fleming, an assistant professor in the Department of English at UMD, has published numerous articles and, under contract with New York University Press, is currently completing his book manuscript, “Black Patience: Performance, Civil Rights, and the Refusal to Wait for Freedom.” His research and teaching interests include performance studies, black political culture, diaspora, and colonialism, especially where they intersect with race, gender, and sexuality. His article “Shattering Black Flesh: Black intellectual Writing in the Age of Ferguson,” appeared in AMERICAN LITERARY HISTORY 28.4 (2016): 828-34. Elizabeth Catchmark, a PhD candidate and academic fellow in the Department of English at UMD, who works at the intersection of African-American Literature, African-American Rhetoric, and Medical Humanities.
