Lecture series to focus on race and faith
A series of 10 lectures focusing on race and faith will kick off April 1 with a talk about the changing face of African American Christianity and black political life.
The presentation by Eddie Glaude Jr., Princeton University's William S. Tod Professor of Religion and African American Studies, will frame the series that examines the intersections and tensions between race and religion in America and around the world.
Other speakers include Vijay Prashad of Trinity College; Todd Ramon Ochoa of the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill; and Jocelyn Moody of the University of Texas-San Antonio.
The series will culminate on June 3 with the St. Clair Drake Memorial Lecture delivered by Stanford alumnus Charles Ogletree, a law professor and executive director of the Charles Hamilton Houston Institute for Race and Justice at Harvard University.
The lectures will be held Wednesdays at 1 p.m. in Building 200-002. They are free and open to the public.
The series is presented by the Program in African and African American Studies and the Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity. For more information, visit http://www.stanford.edu/dept/AAAS.
