Welcome episode 1 of Reflections: An Afrofuturism Podcast!
Dr. Julian Chambliss is a historian and comic writer who currently serves in the Department of English at Michigan State University.

Dr. Chambliss's research on real and imagined cities provides an interesting lens on how afrofuturism acts as a tool to think about possible future spaces.
