Bio

Erick Raven is an Afro-Asian rhetorical scholar. The intersection of African American and East Asian rhetorical expressions in popular culture, particularly film and music, is at the core of his research interests. The intersections between Black and East Asian feminism(s) and African American and East Asian cultural rhetorics as expressed in music and film has been the center of his peer-reviewed, published work, “HyunA: The Nexus of Blackness, Feminism, and K-Pop,” published in The Journal of Popular Culture and “Reclaiming Blaxploitation in the Global Diaspora: The Afro-Asian Rhetoric of Women’s Liberation in Pam Grier’s Coffy and Foxy Brown,” published in Black Camera. He taught middle school in the US and South Korea before teaching at the university level at the University of Texas at Arlington and Texas Christian University.
