Biography
[edit]Early years and education
[edit]Carolyn Joy Cooper[3] was born in 1950 in Kingston, Jamaica, to parents who were members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.[4] She attended St Hugh's High School in Kingston.[5]
In 1968, she was awarded the Jamaica Scholarship (Girls). She attended the University of the West Indies, Mona, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English (B.A. English) in 1971. She was awarded a Canadian International Development Agency fellowship to the University of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, in 1971 to study for her master's degree in English, which was followed by the completion of her PhD at the same institution in 1977.[6]
Academic career
[edit]In 1980, Cooper was appointed as a lecturer in the Department of Literatures in English at the University of the West Indies, where she taught courses on Caribbean, African-American and African literature, as well as popular culture.[6]
She was instrumental in establishing in 1994 the Reggae Studies Unit at the University of the West Indies, Mona, which has hosted numerous public lectures and symposiums featuring reggae/dancehall artists and other practitioners in the music industry in Jamaica and internationally such as Lady Saw, Vybz Kartel, Bounty Killer, Tony Rebel, Ninjaman, Louise Frazer-Bennett, Christine Hewett, Tanya Stephens, Gentleman and Queen Ifrica.
Cooper founded the annual Bob Marley Lecture in 1997. The Reggae Studies Unit has also convened academic conferences, including in 2008 the Global Reggae Conference,[7] the plenary papers for which are collected in Global Reggae[8] (2012), edited by Cooper and published by the University of the West Indies Press. With Dr Eleanor Wint, Cooper co-edited Bob Marley: The Man and His Music (2003), a selection of papers presented at the 1995 symposium that marked the reggae icon's 50th birthday.[9]
In 2017, Cooper retired from being professor of literary and cultural studies at UWI.[10] Selected presentations by her are held at UWI Archives.[11]
Writing and media work
[edit]Cooper is the author of the books Noises in the Blood: Orality, Gender and the "Vulgar" Body of Jamaican Popular Culture (1993) and Sound Clash: Jamaican Dancehall Culture at Large (2004), as well as numerous articles, book chapters, conference presentations and plenary lectures.
A well-known media personality in Jamaica, she is a weekly columnist for the Sunday Gleaner. In the 1990s, she co-hosted a television show, Man and Woman Story, with Dr Leahcim Semaj for the Jamaica Broadcasting Corporation.[7] She also co-hosted a public affairs programme, Question Time on CVM Television, and, more recently, Big People Sup'm on PBC Jamaica.[12][10]
