Roxane Gay is an author and cultural critic whose writing is widely revered. Her work has garnered international acclaim for its reflective, no-holds-barred exploration of feminism and social criticism. She has written books and novels, a collection of essays and a collection of stories. Her collection of essays, “Bad Feminist,” is universally considered the quintessential exploration of modern feminism. NPR named it one of the best books of the year, and Salon declared the book “trailblazing.” Her debut novel, “An Untamed State,” was longlisted for the Flaherty-Dunnan First Novel Prize, which is awarded to the best debut novel of the year by The Center for Fiction. Her bestselling books also include “Difficult Women” and “Hunger: A Memoir of My Body.”

Designed to serve as a hub for scholars, activists and practitioners from across the university and surrounding communities, Kent State’s Anti-Racism and Equity Institute addresses racial inequalities that systemically impact Black, Indigenous, Latinx and other people of color.
