Hasan Henry

Hasan Henry (he/him) is a PhD student in Sociology at the University of California, Berkeley. His research interests lie in issues of racial modernity, Black masculinities and gender, and the sociology of sexuality, situated within an interdisciplinary framing that includes DuBoisian Sociology, Black Studies, and Gender and Sexuality Studies. Hasan's current project concerns the social antecedents to the formation of sexual desire, investigating how contemporary sexual practices, desires, and representations of Black sexuality have been shaped by the colonial encounter and its afterlives—with special attention to how these factors shape the desire, undesire, consumption, and lived experience of Black masculinities. Before attending Berkeley, Hasan received a BA in Political Science and in Sociology from Morehouse College.
