Pulitzer Winning Historian.
Educator.
Public Thinker.
Thank you for visiting my website. My name is Marcia Chatelain, and I’m a scholar, speaker, and strategist based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C. When I’m not in the classroom in my role as a Presidential Penn Compact Professor of Africana Studies at the University of Pennsylvania, I’m on the road, talking to audiences about our nation’s pressing and pervasive social issues, including racism, universities and the history of slavery, as well as activist movements. I also enjoy discussing these issues in media and on podcasts.
You can learn more about me, my writing and speaking, and discover some of my consulting experience on topics from inclusive teaching and pedagogy to food justice. You can also use this site to invite me to your campus or community for a keynote lecture or a staff training. I am represented by Claudia Ballard of William Morris Endeavor (WME) and the Harry Walker Agency. Don’t forget to visit my calendar to see when I will be appearing in your city next.
Best, Dr. C
