  • About

    Timeka N. Williams is a Rackham Merit Fellow in the Communication Studies Doctoral Program at the University of Michigan and a recipient of the Mary Gardner Award for Graduate Research (AEJMC). She studies Black audiences throughout sites of the African Diaspora and focuses on questions of race, gender, and faith, as they converge around everyday media. Williams’ current work explores transnational codes of womanhood and spirituality in Black women’s magazines published in the U.S., France, and South Africa. She has given research presentations and guest lectures at conferences and programs around the world, including, the University of Witwatersrand (Johannesburg, South Africa), Mansfield College at Oxford University (UK), and the Syracuse University-sponsored Paris Noir Program (Paris, France).
