Tina Campt is Director of the Barnard Center for Research on Women and Ann Whitney Olin Professor of Africana and Women's Studies at Barnard College.[1] Campt previous held faculty positions as a professor of Feminist Studies at UC Santa Cruz and Women's Studies at Duke University.[2] Campt is the author of three books: Other Germans: Black Germans and the Politics of Race, Gender and Memory in the Third Reich , Image Matters: Archive Photography and the African Diaspora in Europe , and Listening to Images, forthcoming in 2015 from Duke University Press.

Campt was educated at Vassar College, receiving a BA in 1986. She then attended Cornell University, earning her MA in 1990 and her Ph.D. in 1996.

Campt has gained recognition for her approach to the history of Afro-Germans, which uses a postcolonial, feminist, and diasporic outlook that combines the methodology of an oral historian with that of an ethnographer.[3] In her book Other Germans, for instance, she uses the oral testimonies of two black Germans, Hans Hauck and Fasia Jansen.[4] This is regarded as a significant contribution to German Studies and Holocaust scholarship.[5]
