About this speaker

Tiffany Peacock is an educator, a scholar, a visionary, and a woman on a mission. Originally from Lexington, South Carolina she now lives in Miami. She is a doctoral candidate in Sociocultural Anthropology and the Program Coordinator for The Women's Center at Florida International University. She holds an MA in Anthropology and an MA in African and African Diaspora Studies. Her research addresses questions surrounding the politics of hair and beauty, identity construction, Blackness, processes of racialization, and social movements within the African Diaspora. Tiffany aims to empower and engage more audiences to value anthropological research as a powerful asset in deconstructing and examining the world’s complexities.

When she’s not working on my research, Tiffany likes spending time outdoors, listening to music, dancing, volunteering, exercising, reading, writing, and spending time with friends and family.
