Jasmine Kelekay
Jasmine Kelekay
Jasmine Kelekay is a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Department of African American Studies and African Diaspora Studies at the University of California, Berkeley. Her work examines the ways in which ideas about Blackness are both circulated globally and shaped by local contexts, histories, and material conditions, with a focus on the Nordic context. Situated at the intersection of African diaspora studies, sociology, critical criminology, and cultural studies, Kelekay employs interdisciplinary methods informed by Black/Afrofeminist, critical race, and postcolonial theories. Her current book project investigates the racialized politics of crime control in the Swedish welfare state by examining how Black communities in Sweden are targeted by, experience, navigate, and resist racialized policing. Grounded in community-engaged Black feminist ethnography, Kelekay illustrates how Afro-Swedish communities are criminalized through intersecting logics of antiblackness, Islamophobia, and anti-immigrant racism, revealing how Blackness is policed at the intersections of the various modalities through which it is lived. Her work has been published in journals including Annual Review of Sociology, City & Community, Social Currents, and Open Cultural Studies. Forthcoming works include the co-authored article Letter Writing as Counter Archiving: An Afro-Nordic Feminist Care Practice," to be published in Meridians.
Kelekay earned her Ph.D. from the University of California, Santa Barbara in Sociology with a designated emphasis in Black Studies. She is also an affiliated scholar at the Center for Multidisciplinary Research on Racism (CEMFOR) at Uppsala University. As an Afro-Finland-Swedish scholar, Kelekay is publicly engaged in both Sweden and Finland, where she also continues to work with community organizations and activists.

Shenila Khoji-Moolji received her doctorate in Education and additional certification in Feminist Theory from Columbia University in 2016. Her research interests include examining discourses on gender and education, and their entanglement with practices of power. Dr. Khoja-Moolji’s work problematizes the centering of girls’ education and empowerment as a solution to societal problems, especially in relation to Muslim-majority nations. Specifically, she interrogates universalistic notions of girlhood, empowerment, and rights embedded in past and present calls for women’s and girls’ education, and in doing so highlights the raced, gendered, and religioned configurations of citizenship that emerge in and through humanitarian discourses. Dr. Khoja-Moolji has written extensively about the convergence on the figure of the girl in transnational development regimes. She also investigates education policy discourses as they relate to immigrants in the United States and teacher development in the global South. Her work has appeared in Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society, International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education, Comparative Studies of South Asia, Africa and the Middle East, Compare: A Journal of Comparative and International Education, Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, Feminist Teacher, Gender and Education, Girlhood Studies, and Journal of Diaspora, Indigenous, and Minority Education, and in several book chapters. She also pursues an active public scholarship agenda, with opinion pieces and essays appearing in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Huffington Post. At Penn, Dr. Khoja-Moolji plans to complete her book manuscript, tentatively entitled Gender, Education, and Governmentality: The Making of Educated Female Muslim Subjects in Colonial India and Postcolonial Pakistan (1857-2015).
