Karla F.C. Holloway (née Clapp; September 29, 1949) is an American academic. She is James B. Duke Professor of English & Professor of Law at Duke University, and holds appointments in Duke Law School and the Department of African & African American Studies.
Early life, education, and family
Holloway received an A.B. From Talladega College. Part of her undergraduate credits were earned at Wroxton College (Wroxton Abbey), where she studied British literature, politics and economics and at Harvard University where she studied Linguistics. She received an M.A. from Michigan State University, an M.L.S. from Duke University School of Law, and a Ph.D in American Literature and Linguistics from Michigan State University; her dissertation was titled "A Critical Investigation of Literary and Linguistic Structures in the Fiction of Zora Neale Hurston".
Her early life was spent in Buffalo, New York, the middle daughter of prominent educators Claude D. and Ouida H. Clapp. Her husband, Russell Holloway, is an Associate Dean for Corporate and Industry Relations at the Pratt School of Engineering at Duke and her daughter, Ayana Holloway Arce, is an Assistant Professor of Physics, also at Duke University.
Professional activities
Holloway has been a member of the Duke faculty since 1994. Previously she taught at North Carolina State. She was hired, she later recalled, because Henry Louis Gates, Jr. "had just left for Harvard and Duke suddenly needed someone to teach a night course that had already been scheduled for Gates."
She has served on the boards of Duke University's Center for Documentary Studies, and Princeton University's Council on the Study of Women and Gender. She has been affiliated with Duke University's Institute on Care at the End of Life, and with the Trent Center for Bioethics and Medical Humanities. She was the first African American woman to serve as a department chair (African & African-American Studies). While chair, she led the program to full departmental status with the authority to hire and tenure its own faculty.
In 1999 she became the first African American woman to serve as a dean of faculty at Duke. She was Dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences until 2004, when she took a leave of absence to attend Duke Law School, earning her Master of Legal Studies (2005). She is a current member of its faculty.
Holloway was a founding co-director of the John Hope Franklin Center and the Franklin Humanities Institute. She is a member of the Hastings Center, an elected association of leading bioethics researchers and also serves on the Faculty Scholars in Bioethics Board of the Greenwall Foundation.
Books and other writings
Holloway has written eight books to date, including New Dimensions of Spirituality: A BiRacial and BiCultural Reading of the Novels of Toni Morrison. Westport (1987; with S. Demetrakopoulos), The Character of the Word: The Texts of Zora Neale Hurston (1987), Moorings & Metaphors: Figures of Culture and Gender in Black Women's Literature (1992), Codes of Conduct: Race, Ethics, and the Color of Our Character (1995), Passed On: African American Mourning Stories (2002), BookMarks: Reading in Black and White — A Memoir (2006), Private Bodies/Public Texts: Race, Gender, and a Cultural Bioethics (2011), and Legal Fictions: Constituting Law, Composing Literature.
In 2013, she was named to the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Transforming Care at the End of Life.

Following Duke lacrosse-team rape case of 2006-07, in which three white members of the men's lacrosse team at Duke were charged with raping a black woman at a party, Holloway conceived and was a signatory of the "Group of 88" statement, an advertisement placed in the Duke student newspaper, mentioning "concerns brought to light by the lacrosse incident about racism and sexism on campus." The advertisement was widely criticized as inflammatory and a prejudgment.
In an interview that appeared in the Durham Herald-Sun on June 29, 2006, by which point the rape allegations were quickly unraveling, Holloway described herself as a “victim”. On October 27, 2006, she told the Duke Chronicle that she would sign the Group of 88's ad again “in a heartbeat.”
