His first book, an edited collection titled ''Theater and Cultural Politics for a New World'', was published by Routledge in 2016. His second book, a monograph titled ''Exporting Jim Crow: Blackface Minstrelsy in South Africa and Beyond'', was published by University of Massachusetts Press in Spring 2020. His writing appears in ''The Drama Review'', ''Safundi: The Journal of South African and American Studies'', ''Miami Herald, and African American Culture: An Encyclopedia of People, Traditions, and Customs''Dr. Thelwell is the recipient of a distinguished graduate student teaching award from New York University, an Emerging Diversity Scholar Award from the National Center for Institutional Diversity at University of Michigan, a pre-doctoral fellowship from Allegheny College, post-doctoral fellowship from the Ford Foundation, and a post-doctoral fellowship from the Mellon Foundation. In 2011, Dr. Thelwell and a number of collaborators, most notably the Hemispheric Institute at NYU, received a grant from the Nathan Cummings Foundation to begin work on Theater and Cultural Politics for a New World.
