I'm joined by MSU professor, Julian Chambliss, who works in the study of American superheroes in comics, Afrofuturism, and digital humanities. In this extended episode of WiMP (or as I like to call it, the Director's Cut), Julian talks about: 

• Recovering Black representation in public data 
• Teaching American history and the creation of whiteness 
• Afrofuturism, de-centering whiteness, and the construction of time
• Questions of representation with Black comic characters and creators
• Black Panther in print and in the MCU

At the end of the episode we also have the long awaited debut of Beats with B, as Bryan and I look at Black Superhero, the 2nd track on Robert Glasper's 2022 album, Black Radio III. You can listen to the track in its entirety in the Beats with B - The WiMP Podcast Mixtape, available on:

• Apple Music
• YouTube
• Spotify (coming soon)
