 La Marr Jurelle Bruce (B.A. Columbia\, Ph.D. Yale) is an interdisciplin
 ary humanities scholar\, cultural critic and theorist\, Black/black studie
 s devotee\, first-generation college graduate\, and Associate Professor of
  American Studies at the University of Maryland\, College Park. The recipi
 ent of fellowships and prizes from the Ford Foundation\, Mellon Foundation
 \, and Modern Language Association\, Bruce studies black expressive cultu
 res—especially literature\, music\, film\, and the art and aesthetics of
  quotidian black life. His writings appear in such venues as American Qu
 arterly\, The Black Scholar\, GLQ\, Social Text\, TDR\, and African 
 American Review\, for which he won the Joe Weixlmann Prize for Best Essay.
  His debut book\, How to Go Mad without Losing Your Mind: Madness and Bl
 ack Radical Creativity\, earned the Nicolás Cristóbal Guillén Batista 
 Outstanding Book Award. Now he’s in the thick of a project on—and expe
 riment in—convergences of love and madness. He sometimes calls it The A
 fromantic.\n\n-----\n\nThe University of Toronto does not currently mandat
