Robin Brooks, PhD is a scholar who examines cultural matters concerning Black communities in the United States and the wider African Diaspora. She is an assistant professor of Africana Studies at the University of Pittsburgh, and her current research focuses particularly on African American and English-speaking Caribbean populations with special attention to matters of inequality and social justice.

For the 2019-2020 academic year, she was a Ford Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow in residence at Emory University. Website: DrRobinBrooks.com.
