Bettina Judd is a bicoastal Cave Canem Fellow who infuses her interest in women’s studies, social justice, and spirituality in her poetry and visual art. Bettina is an alumna of Spelman College and is currently pursuing her doctorate in Women’s Studies at the University of Maryland, College Park. Utilizing poetry, photography, paint, song, and academic prose her work challenges interdisciplinary scholarship and intertextual narrative. Bettina’s current projects include a poetic and visual exploration of body, memory and the history of gynecological experimentation on Black women in the US, and an academic and creative venture on affect and Black feminist politics in Black women’s art. Her work can be found in the literary journal Torch (Fall/Winter 2007 and Spring/Summer 2010 issues) and Cave Canem’s anthology XI.
