Model of Vocation: Teaching the Black Panther

Dr. Brian Bantum, professor of theology, and Jeff Overstreet, assistant professor of film and English.

“What does it mean that the deep wound of race in this country has come to be euphemized as a card, a metaphor which acknowledges the rhetoric as such and yet simultaneously materializes race into a finite object that can be dealt out, withheld, or trumped? Why the singularity of a card? Who gets to play? And what would constitute a ‘full deck’? ”

Anne Cheng, The Melancholy of Race
