College of Arts and Humanities 2011-2012 Dean's Lecture Series: Angela Davis in conversation
Description:
For over four decades, philosopher and writer Angela Davis has been one of most influential, controversial, and fearless activists and public intellectuals in the United States. Her work as an educator both at the university level and in the larger public sphere has always emphasized the importance of building communities of struggle for economic, racial, and gender justice. Currently Professor Emerita of the History of Consciousness at the University of California, Santa Cruz, Professor Davis' notable books are Women, Race, and Class (1981), The House That Race Built (1998), Are Prisons Obsolete? (2003), and most recently an acclaimed new critical edition of Frederick Douglasss classic work, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, Written by Himself.
