NICOLE DENISE RAMSEY
About Me
I am an interdisciplinary educator, writer, consultant and researcher from Los Angeles, California. My work lays at the intersection of Black studies, Caribbean studies and Cultural studies and is concerned with conceptions of nation, representation and belonging across the Circum-Caribbean and particularly in Belize and the Belizean diaspora in the U.S. I am interested in questions pertaining to gender, migration, identity formations, national identity and nation in Black Central America, Latin America and the Caribbean.
My research has been supported by the Center for Latin American Studies ( CLAS) at Berkeley, The Institute of International Studies, and the Center for Race and Gender.
In 2015 I earned my MA in African American Studies from UCLA where my thesis explored the evolution of class, gender and black consciousness in 20th century Belize. Additionally, I earned my Ph.D from the University of California, Berkeley in African American & African Diaspora Studies with a designated emphasis in Women, Gender & Sexuality Studies.
I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Carter G. Woodson Institute for African American and African Studies at the University of Virginia.
