An Evening with Professor Carol Anderson: Framing Inequality through Race and Policy

An Evening with Professor Carol Anderson: Framing Inequality through Race and Policy was a part of ODEI’s Cultural Lens: Film & Speakers Series and held on October 19, 2021.

Dr. Anderson’s research explores how policy is made and unmade, how racial inequality and racism affect that process and outcome, and how those who have taken the brunt of those laws, executive orders, and directives have worked to shape, counter, undermine, reframe, and, when necessary, dismantle the legal and political edifice used to limit their rights and their humanity. Some of her most noted works include White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Nation's Divide; Eyes Off the Prize: The United Nations and the African American Struggle for Human Rights, 1944-1955; Bourgeois Radicals: The NAACP and the Struggle for Colonial Liberation, 1941-1960, One Person, No Vote: How Voter Suppression is Destroying Our Democracy, and her latest book, The Second: Race and Guns in a Fatally Unequal America.

This event was co-sponsored by: UAB Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, UAB Student Multicultural and Diversity Programs, UAB Institute for Human Rights, University of Alabama's Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and University of Alabama in Huntsville's Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
