Talk Title: Care Without Reserve: Conceptualizing the Blackness of Rioting

Nicholas Brady (he/him) is a Black writer from Baltimore. Currently, he is an Assistant Professor of Critical Black Studies at Bucknell University. He broadly works at the intersection of black studies, critical theory, and cultural studies. His scholarly work investigates the many ways that black rebellion and riots conceptually disturb normative understandings of the political, the urban, ecology, sexuality, communication, and social change. You can find his work at Chiasma, Proptor Nos, and The Feminist Wire among other places. Currently he is at work on a monograph entitled The Riot Imaginary that investigates the rhetorical and conceptual impact of Black urban rebellions of the twentieth and twenty-first century.
