Caribbean geography is often defined by the Caribbean Sea, but our historical and cultural borders go well beyond these physical boundaries. In this episode, we talk about how to define the boundaries, inter-regional travel, and migration around the Caribbean with our very first guest, scholar Melanie White.

Melanie White is an interdisciplinary scholar, writer, and researcher from Miami, Florida. She is currently a Ford Foundation Predoctoral Fellow and PhD candidate in Africana Studies at Brown University. In 2015, she earned her B.A. in Cultural Anthropology with a minor in Africana Studies from the University of Pennsylvania, where she was a Posse Scholar and Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellow. In 2017, she received her M.A. in African and African Diaspora Studies from the University of Texas at Austin. Melanie's dissertation research dwells at the intersection of Black visual culture studies, Afro-Latin American studies, Caribbean studies,  and Black feminist thought. More broadly, her research interests include Black diasporic art, Black feminisms, Black cultural politics, and Black critical thought.
