Faculty Spotlight
Dr. Novotny Lawrence’s work extends outside the classroom to his research agenda. His book, Black Exploitation Films of the 1970s: Blackness and Genre, was published by Routledge Press in 2007. Dr. Lawrence continues to seek alternative ways to examine blaxploitation cinema. For example, he recently had a book chapter titled “All the Players Came, but Some of them Weren’t Welcome: Gay and Lesbian Representation in Blaxploitation Cinema,” accepted into a multivolume work focusing on gays and lesbians in popular culture. This is an original exploration of an area that is receiving a growing amount scholarly attention.
