Office Hours

Eve Eure is an Assistant Professor in the Literature Department at UC San Diego, with affiliations in the Design Lab and the Indigenous Futures Institute. A transdisciplinary scholar, her work sits at the intersections of Black Studies and Native and Indigenous Studies. Her teaching interests include African American experimental fiction; poetics and visual culture; Critical Indigenous Studies; settler-plantation slavery and its afterlives; Indigenous Futurisms; comparative studies of race, gender, and empire; and archival theories and methods. Eve is currently completing her first book, The Grammar of Kinship: Black and Native Intimacies in the Nineteenth Century. The project examines the literary and legal effacement of Black and Native kinship ties, as well as the new forms of kin-making and literary expression that emerged in response during the nineteenth century. Before joining UC San Diego, Eve was an Assistant Professor of English at Lehman College, CUNY.
