In an upcoming episode of "Left of Black," Mark Anthony Neal interviews Duke alumna Thema Bryant, a leading clinical psychologist.

Furthermore, this season welcomes the arrival of Jakiah Glass, the newest addition to the Left of Black production team. Glass, a recent mass communications graduate from North Carolina Central University, now serves as the assistant editor for the series.

Her affiliation with the Franklin Humanities Institute began with the Charmaine McKissick-Melton Communications Fellowship, a partnership between Duke and NCCU that targets undergraduate mass communications students.

Undergraduate Duke and UNC students should be on the lookout for a new course offering related to the Left of Black production process, taught by Neal. More information about the course will soon be announced.
