We will learn about how certain structures-patronage, creative collaboration, scholarly mentorship, and the intersectional impacts of class, race, and gender-shaped Hurston's abilities to theorize, produce and publish. Ultimately, with Hurston as our guide, we will immerse ourselves in her lifelong, interdisciplinary study of Black culture in order to understand how Hurston's intersectionality and interdisciplinarity made it both far too likely for her to be lost and incredibly necessary to recover.
