 la Mohammed is an Assistant Professor and Coordinator of the Black Canadia
 n Studies Certificate in the Department of Humanities at York University\,
  where she teaches Black Studies\, Popular Culture\, and Sound Studies cou
 rses.  She was recently awarded the York Research Chair Tier II in Black S
 onic Cultures that generates a series of projects that advance innovative 
 interdisciplinary analysis of Black Cultural practices\, the impacts of ur

 aints of anti-Black racism and the ways Black people disrupt dominant spat
 ial forms. Her research interests include Black Studies\, Popular Music an
 d Sound Studies\, Performance Theory and Diaspora Studies. Her forthcoming
  publications include “Cringy Sounds\, Pleasurable Acts: The Difficulty 
 of Articulating Antiblackness in Canada” in the Power of Listening colle
 ction celebrating the 15th anniversary of Sounding Out! Sound Studies blog
  by NYU Press as well as an entry on “Sound” in the Thinking from Blac
 k: A Lexicon by Alchemy by Knopf Canada. Her manuscript\, The Black Nowher
 e: Sonic Architectures of Dispossession\, examines the often- overlooked a
 uditory dimension of anti-Blackness in Canada. The work examines how sound
  is shaped by political ontologies of race and the epistemological stakes 
 of critical listening practices in the face of quotidian and spectacular a
 nti-Black violence. \n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the Performance and 
 Media Arts Presentation (PMAPS) colloquium series. Inaugurated in Fall 202
 1\, PMAPS is the latest iteration of a colloquium series within the Depart
 ment of Performing and Media Arts. Its greatest vision lies in offering gr
 aduate students a space to present their work to students\, faculty\, and 
 professionals of similar fields and interests. The content of its presenta
 tion’s ranges from media studies to dance\, and such diverse nature has 
 earned the attention of related communities both within and outside Ithaca
 \, NY.
