Teaches at 92nd Street Y

Autumn Womack is the author of The Matter of Black Living: The Aesthetic Experiment of Racial Data, 1880-1930. Her second project, “The Reprint Revolution,” considers the circulation politics and practices that brought many nineteenth-century African American literary texts into the marketplace in the 1960s. At Princeton, she teaches classes on 19th and 20th century African American literature and the history of race and media. Womack has been the recipient of numerous awards and fellowships, including a postdoctoral fellowship at Rutgers University’s Department of English and a faculty fellowship at Penn State’s Center for the History of Information.
