about

Nala Williams is a PhD Candidate in Anthropology and African American Studies at Yale University. As an anthropologist working at the intersection of anthropology, Black studies, and science and technology studies, her research examines how Black women who are scientific knowers (specifically academic archaeologists) experience their authority as mediated by racialized sexism and gendered racism. 

More broadly, Nala's work is interested in questions of knowledge production, expertise, object oriented ontologies, critical university studies, and Black feminist theory.
