CONNECT

I’m Dr. Aiesha Turman — a scholar, artist, educator, filmmaker, writer, and curriculum developer working at the intersections of Black speculative thought, cultural memory, Afrofuturism, public humanities, and liberatory pedagogy.

My work brings together scholarship, storytelling, teaching, creative practice, and community-centered inquiry. I collaborate with institutions, educators, artists, cultural organizations, and public humanities spaces to create experiences that are intellectually rigorous, creatively expansive, and grounded in lived history.

If you are building work that centers Black futures, collective memory, transformative learning, storytelling, art, or liberatory imagination, we may be aligned.

Invitations & Collaborations

I welcome inquiries related to:

Speaking & Public Conversations
