Bianca C. Williams (she/her) is an Associate Professor of Anthropology at The Graduate Center, CUNY. She earned her Ph.D. in Cultural Anthropology and a Graduate Certificate in African & African American Studies from Duke University. In her award-winning book, The Pursuit of Happiness: Black Women, Diasporic Dreams, and the Politics of Emotional Transnationalism, Williams examines how African American women use travel to Jamaica and the Internet as tools for pursuing happiness and critiquing American racism and sexism. She argues that pursuing happiness is a political project for Black women. Additionally, Williams has written about white supremacy, anti-Blackness, and campus activism in the co-edited volume Plantation Politics and Campus Rebellions (SUNY Press 2021); “radical honesty” as feminist pedagogy in the volume "Race, Equity, and the Learning Environment" (edited by Tuitt et al 2016); and published on #BlackLivesMatter, anthropology, and tourism in the journals "Souls" and "Cultural Anthropology."
