Chandra Frank

Dr. Chandra Frank is a scholar–curator and assistant professor of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. Her interdisciplinary scholarship focuses on feminist and queer of color movement work, possibilities of dissent, and the ways in which race and the environment work as terrains of power. She has worked closely with artists and art institutions to curate exhibitions and public activations, with archivists and activists to highlight forgotten public histories, and with gardeners and farmers to bring ecological to think about our connections to land and soil. During her tenure she will develop projects and partnerships related to ecologies, public memory and walking methodologies, with the goal of establishing a small public arts festival in Cincinnati.
