Vibe of the South: Ordinary Blackness/Carceral Intimacies” presented by Corey J. Miles

In this SouthTalk, Corey J. Miles will journey to the inner lives of southern trap rappers to explore how both frustration and care for the region refuse traditional explanation. Miles is an ethnographer of the Black South and an assistant professor of sociology and Africana studies at Tulane University. His book, Vibe: The Sound and Feeling of Black Life in the American South, investigates the ways Black people have built the South while being simultaneously excluded from it.

In his work, Miles captures the complexity of Black life and death in the American South. His work has been published in the Journal of Hip-Hop Studies, Cultural Studies, the Howard Journal of Communication, Humanity and Society, and the Chronicle of Higher Education.

SouthTalks is a series of events, including lectures, performances, film screenings and panel discussions, that explores the interdisciplinary nature of Southern studies. All events are free and open to the public.
