Seretha D. Williams, Ph.D. is professor of English and Women's and Gender Studies at Augusta University. She earned a M.A. and Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from the University of Georgia.

Two recent publications, “Gary, Indiana on the Cusp of Greatness: Richard G. Hatcher and the National Black Political Convention of 1972” (2018) and “’Mother of Us Poets’: Margaret Walker and the Black Arts Movement” (forthcoming 2019) revisit the late 1960s and early 1970s in an attempt to include voices and political spaces frequently omitted from discussions of the Black Power and Black Arts movements.
