James Brown Conference @ Princeton
Earlier this year I mentioned that I am serving as the graduate assistant to Daphne Brooks, an Associate Professor of English and African American Studies at Princeton University who is visiting faculty in Performance Studies at NYU. Here's a great two day symposium conference that Daphne has organized on black soul legend James Brown. I'll be there, will you?
