About Me
Matthew A. Randolph is a storyteller and community-builder with a passion for using history to inspire and empower others while pushing for social change. As a PhD student in History at Stanford University, he focuses on the intertwined history of the United States, Latin America, and the Caribbean with a focus on shifting dynamics of race and ethnicity across national borders. His current research centers on the global dimensions of the Black Panther Party, illuminating connections between the San Francisco Bay Area and the wider world since the 1960s. He hopes his research encourages all scholars to appreciate the past, present, and future of the African diaspora.
Beyond academia, Matthew has dedicated himself to causes for public history, human rights, and social justice in the Bay Area and throughout the Americas. Prior to studying at Stanford, Matt earned his B.A. in History and Spanish from Amherst College in Massachusetts. From 2016 to 2018, he worked at Asylum Access, an international human rights organization that helps refugees rebuild their lives around the world. He has also worked as a volunteer and research fellow at the African American Museum and Library at Oakland, supporting virtual field trip initiatives for local youth.
