Biography
Carolette Norwood is Associate Professor in the Department of Africana Studies and affiliate faculty in Women’s Studies and Sociology at the University of Cincinnati. She earned a PhD in Sociology from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and was an Andrew W Mellon Fellow at the Université de Montréal in African Demography. Dr. Norwood’s research and teaching epitomizes Africana. She has done work on African women and economic development which explores the limitations and possibilities of microcredit as a development strategy for women in Ghana and in Cameroon. Additionally, Dr. Norwood researches sexual health disparities for African American women in urban environments. With the generous support of University of California San Francisco, Center of AIDS Prevention Studies, Dr. Norwood is currently undertaking a study that explores the ways in which Black women navigate gender, race, place and space in high HIV prevelance neighborhoods. Lastly, Dr. Norwood is engaged in two other innovative bodies of work: one she calls “interracial fertility” which empirically challenges the longstanding assumptions of Status Exchange theory and the other is something she terms Africana Feminism which examines the commonalities in Africana women’s lived experience under colonialism and slavery. Dr. Norwood’s publications appears in Development in Practice, the Journal of Asian and African Studies, Gender and Society, the American Journal of Health Studies and Sociology Compass.
