Angela Davis to give next Seminar on Higher Education

Angela Davis will give the inaugural speech for McMaster’s new Centre for Scholarship in the Public Interest March 27.

Davis, an academic at UCLA, will talk about the legacy of the abolition of slavery.

“Angela Davis is a model for what it means to be a public intellectual,” McMaster’s Henry Giroux, director of the new centre, told The Toronto Star in a recent interview. “I can think of no one who capture the spirit and sense of commitment to theoretical rigor and social justice more than she does.”

The full story in The Star is available here.

Davis will give the lecture March 27, 6:30 p.m. at Hamilton’s LIUNA Station.

The McMaster Students Union will provide bussing to and from the event. Spots on the bus can be reserved here.
