Dr. Danielle Hodge (she/her) is a Facilitator at HmntyCntrd and an Assistant Professor of Communication with specialization in African American Studies, critical race theory, and critical hip hop studies at the University of Colorado Boulder. As an African American woman and scholar, Dr. Hodge has always been concerned with how racism and its intersecting oppressions are embedded in our everyday talk, communicative practices, institutions, and overall society. Specifically, she interrogates how white supremacy informs and shapes our identities, beliefs, and attitudes. To do so, Dr. Hodge’s research and teaching employ a critical race theoretical approach to identity, culture, and language, and examines how systems of oppression impact marginalized groups and are discursively reproduced, maintained, and resisted. In the past five years, she has taught courses, facilitated workshops, and delivered talks about race, racial identity, whiteness, and critical race theory. Dr. Hodge is currently teaching university level courses on race, anti-black racism, hip hop culture, and communication, and specializes in developing curriculum on issues related to oppression, white supremacy, anti-blackness, and anti-racism.
