Dr. Russell published her research about African American author Richard Wright (1908-1960) in the scholarly book Richard Wright in Context. Her chapter is called “Wright and African American Women” and focuses on the many diverse characters–both real and fictional–which compose “an archive of black women’s experience unlike any from the era.” These include mothers, workers, leaders, activists, and theorists and show the impact of women on the author’s life.

Oct 20, 2021
Professor Puicon has been selected as a CLASP Teaching Fellow at Bard College. She works as an Assistant Professor of History at Bard High School Early College in Newark, NJ.
"The overarching goal of the CLASP Fellows Program is to develop and foster a commitment to student-centered, writing-rich teaching methods central to liberal arts and sciences education. Each cohort of CLASP Fellows, once trained, will offer intensive workshops intended to continue to support faculty across the network and cultivate a core group of OSUN faculty who will lead blended workshops and collaborate with colleagues across OSUN partner institutions.
The training the fellows receive and pass on to the wider faculty at each institution will influence instruction, classroom management and curriculum, as well as assessment and grading. Through faculty, the work of CLASP will also impact thousands of students, involving all in the free exchange of ideas and informed discussion, critical thinking, and problem solving in the classroom."
