Convocation: Melissa Harris-Lacewell

Melissa Harris-Lacewell is Associate Professor of Politics and African American Studies at Princeton University. She is the author of the award-winning book Barbershops, Bibles, and BET: Everyday Talk and Black Political Thought. She is currently at work on a new book, Sista Citizen: For Colored Girls Who've Considered Politics When Being Strong Wasn't Enough. Her academic research is inspired by a desire to investigate the challenges facing contemporary black Americans and to better understand the multiple, creative ways that African Americans respond to these challenges. Her creative and dynamic teaching is also motivated by the practical political and racial issues of our time; for example, exploring the multiple political meanings of Hurricane Katrina. She has taught students from grade school to graduate school and has been recognized for her commitment to the classroom as a site of democratic deliberation on race. On the occasion of the celebration of the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the title of her presentation was "King in the Age of Obama."
