I had the chance to write about how Native American women playwrights are using contract riders and negotiations to create networks of care and kinship. So pleased to have my work alongside one of my dissertation committee members and other scholars I have long admired!

I recently got to speak about my book, Redface, with Stateside on Michigan public radio. www.michiganpublic.org/show/statesi...

My book was featured on the Page 99 Test site. It asks authors whether page 99 of their book is a good snapshot of its entirety. Coincidentally, I recently found a typo on page 99 of my book. 😬 page99test.blogspot.com/2025/01/beth...

"In her compelling debut, Bethany Hughes investigates the history of “redface” in the US. Thoroughly researched and accessibly written, this volume sheds light on colonial legacies of racial constructions and performativity." msmagazine.com/2024/12/03/b...
