Shirley Anne Tate
Professor Shirley Anne Tate, CRC Tier 1 in Feminism and Intersectionality in the Department of Sociology at the University of Alberta, Honorary Professor in the Chair in Critical Studies in Higher Education Transformation (CriSHET) at Nelson Mandela University and Visiting Professor in the Carnegie School of Education at Leeds Beckett University, is a Jamaican sociologist, scholar, researcher, educator and author.
Previously, she was Professor of Race and Education the first appointment of its kind in the UK and founding Director of the Centre for Race, Education and Decoloniality at Leeds Beckett University. She is known for her work studying racism, the Black diaspora, and the intersection with feminism, specifically within institutional racism, mixed race studies, and Black identity. For more than a decade, she has turned her analyses -– rooted in Caribbean decolonial and Black feminist thought -– to the academic world itself.
Her publications have been in the areas of intersectional institutional racism, beauty and Black anti-racist aesthetics, ‘race’ performativity, Black/white mixed-race lives, and the “race”d and gendered body in enslavement and freedom. Professor Tate’s research interests include the body, ‘mixed race,’ domestic and care work, beauty, Black intersectional identifications, migration, ‘race’ performativity, decoloniality and the politics of skin.
