Growing up <\/span>in Los Angeles in the 1980s and \u201990s, a daughter and granddaughter of social justice activists, Chanda Prescod-Weinstein fell in love with math and the physical sciences and developed a profound curiosity about the cosmos (though the smoggy night sky of her childhood blocked her view of the stars). She soon developed a detailed plan for her life that led to a career writing and teaching about physics and gender studies at the University of New Hampshire.<\/p>

Today, Prescod-Weinstein\u2019s work stands out for the ways she weaves her identity as queer, Black, and Jewish into her work. In her latest book, The Edge of Space-Time: Particles, Poetry, and the Cosmic Dream Boogie,<\/em> Prescod-Weinstein brings a Black feminist lens to cosmology, quantum physics, poetry, and popular culture to help unlock the mysteries of the physical universe.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Edge of Space-Time<\/em> is a much more intimate book because this is my brain,\u201d Prescod-Weinstein says. \u201cThis is how I see the universe. These are the things that I am passionate about in my quiet moments.\u201d<\/p>
