About
Ryan Cecil Jobson is a first-year doctoral student in Anthropology and African American Studies at Yale University. He received a B.A., summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa, in Africana Studies and Anthropology from the University of Pennsylvania in 2011. At present, he is preoccupied with the extraction and circulation of energy resources and its intersection with sites of diasporic exchange in Africa and the Caribbean, particularly Trinidad and Tobago. More broadly, his research encompasses questions of postcolonial sovereignty, commodity fetishism, and genealogies of anthropological thought in the African Diaspora. Additionally, Ryan maintains an interest in critical pedagogy and educational reform as a frequent contributor to the Ase Academy, an African-Centered Saturday School based in Philadelphia. He is an obliged recipient of the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship, Ford Predoctoral Fellowship and National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship.
