Tina Campt

Tina Campt is Associate Professor Women's Studies at Barnard University.

Campt was educated at Vassar College, gaining a BA in 1986. She then attended Cornell University in 1990 gaining her MA in 1990 and her PhD in 1996.

Campt has gained recognition for her approach to the history of Afro-Germans which uses a postcolonial, feminist, and diasporic outlook which combines the methodology of an oral historian with that of an ethnographer.^[1] In her book Other Germans she uses the oral testimonies of two black Germans, Hans Hauck and Fasia Jansen.^[2] This is regarded as a significant contribution to German Studies and Holocaust scholarship.^[3]
