Mnemosyne is the Greek Goddess of memory and language, and this podcast seeks to immortalize feminist conversations through the ancient art of storytelling. In this episode of Mnemosyne, Andrea and Ameena interview former IRW Director Dr. Nicole Fleetwood, who is an author, curator, former professor of American Studies and Art History at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, and current professor in NYU Steinhardt’s Department of Media, Culture, and Communication. Dr. Fleetwood was recently awarded the National Book Critics Circle Award for Criticism and the 2021 MacArthur Fellowship.
