Jacqueline Wood (Ph.D., University of Florida, 1998), Associate Professor of English, specializes in twentieth-century African American literature with an emphasis on African American women dramatists. As a professor participating in the African American Studies Program at UAB, she teaches African American literature survey courses and African American Drama, African American Poetry, and Literature of the African Diaspora. In addition, she has taught courses on early American immigrant experience, women writers of color, and composition and culture. Her scholarship addresses resistant rhetoric in late twentieth century African American women’s drama, and, most recently, the foundational role that Sonia Sanchez has played in informing these black women dramatists’ voices. Dr. Wood has published articles on contemporary black women dramatists Adrienne Kennedy and Suzan-Lori Parks in journals such as Studies in the Humanities, Journal of Dramatic Theory and Criticism, College Literature, The African American Review, and The College Language Association Journal, and she has just finished an edited collection of Sonia Sanchez’s plays, Power Plays: The Dramatic Works of Sonia Sanchez, under contract at Duke University Press.
