Personal information
Berit Brink is an Assistant Professor of American Literature at the Faculty of Humanities, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Her research focuses on the intersections of American and African American literature, history, and spatial theory, with a focus on how place shapes identity and resistance. Through the lens of literary and cultural history, particularly during and after the 1960s, her work explores the ways in which marginalized communities contest spatial boundaries and reimagine belonging, and to what extent writing can be used a tool for change.
