Professor Mathes is a specialist in African American Literature and African Diaspora Studies. His research interests include aesthetic theory, literary sound, and the Black Arts Movement. He is currently working on a book manuscript, Imagine the Sound: Modalities of Radical Struggle in Post-Civil Rights Black Literature. In this work, he examines the creative use of sound in black literature as a form of both aesthetic innovation and political resistance during the shifting racial climate of the 1960s-1980s.
