Spend these next few years discovering who you would like to be in this world, identifying which communities you will call your own and deciding how to contribute to them. Welcome to your freshman seminar. The work begins here. This is how Professor Gina Athena Ulysse introduced herself to new students enrolled in her courses at Wesleyan University. I began my first year of college in the autumn of 2006, taking courses like Blurred Genres: Feminist Ethnographic Writing with Ulysse and exploring issues of race, religion, colour and class in an introductory seminar on the Caribbean. Inside and outside the classroom, Ulysse (more endearingly dubbed Prof U by her students) encouraged us to engage scholarship in an interdisciplinary manner, incorporating self-expression, art and plans for social change in our work. We often learned from her example, as she conducted her professional and personal life in just such a fashion. During this interview,1 Gina Athena Ulysse explains how the power of writing, art production and performance provide her the opportunity to explore radical pedagogies and modes of self-actualization. She considers how these creative liberties in academia become a form of activism on the ground, an important method of implementing praxis in anthropology's theoretical discipline. Born in Petion-Ville, she became a part of the growing 10lh department of Haiti known as Dyjaspora in her early teens. While still a young woman in Haiti, she developed a keen eye for the power plays of gender and class structure. In her scholarship, Ulysse has offered much critical reflection on the nation's subtler as well as the more conspicuous histories of colonization. Importantly, she continues to propose creative possibilities for the production of new subjecthoods in post-earthquake Haiti. For over a year, she has contributed online op-eds for Ms. Magazine and the Huffington Post regarding the disastrous trauma of 2010 as well as the implementation of cultural and social rebuilding processes within the country. Finally, in addition to her written presence, Ulysse also incorporates performance into her repertoire, with spellbinding spokenword, woven painfully and poignantly with Vodou chants that critically engage Haiti's historicities, atrocities and fruitful possibilities. As researcher, activist, author and performance artist, Ulysse includes women and Vodou as neglected central figures of Haitian history, noting their unique contributions to a historically patriarchal, Catholic (and increasingly Protestant) nation. Emerging as one of Haiti's most powerful new voices, from her earliest work Gina Athena Ulysse has focused on the prominent roles Caribbean women have played historically. Downtown Ladies, her first book, is what she calls an alterfed) native ethnography. In articles like Papa, Patriarchy and Power: Snapshots of a Good Haitian Girl, Feminism and Dyasporic Dreams,2 Ulysse engages questions of class, gender, colour and religious inequities in a critical manner that has been predominantly explored by men in Haitian history. Most significantly, Ulysse remains one of the few Haitian scholars to systematically theorize and redefine feminism in a Diasporic and Caribbean cultural context. Excerpts from performance pieces such as Because When God Is Too Busy illuminate how deeply intertwined the absent voices of enduring women and creolized religious traditions have become; her songs and spoken-word performances provide refreshing, alternative narratives for history. Inspired in her writing, teaching and performing by other similarly minded artist-academic-activists, Ulysse explains simply with these mediums of engagement, happy. And I'm happiest when I can speak my truth.3 Kyrah Malika Daniels: How would you define your profesnonal field as an academic? Gina Athena Ulysse: I still think of myself first and foremost as an anthropologist, an ethnographer, because that is my formal training. …" @default.
