Other, on-campus

Dr. Tukufu Zuberi, Professor of Race Relations, Sociology, and Africana Studies at the University of Pennsylvania, and host of The History Detectives on PBS will give the 2018 Shirley Kennedy Memorial Lecture in the MultiCultural Center Theater on Tuesday, April 10. 

A reception will follow the talk.

The first demographic racial transition occurred toward the end of the fifteenth century, and such transitions continue to be a major driver of social change today. After providing an overview of demographic racial transitions over the past five hundred years, Dr. Zuberi will focus on the place of Africa and the African Diaspora in what appears to be the final such transition among human populations.
