Professor Wariboko to Deliver 41st W.E.B. DuBois Lecture at University of Maryland, Baltimore
Walter G. Muelder Professor of Social Ethics Nimi Wariboko has been asked to deliver the 41st W. E. B. Du Bois Distinguished Annual Lecture of the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB). His lecture, titled “The Future of Du Bois: Consciousness, Citizenship and Epistemology in Africa”, is scheduled for Wednesday, November 13. The W.E.B. Du Bois Lecture Series was started by the department forty years ago to acknowledge the achievements of William Edward Burghardt Du Bois, the inimitable Black scholar and political activist of the early 1900s.
In his lecture, Professor Wariboko will examine how consciousness, citizenship, and epistemology combine to affect how Africans and Americans evaluate the importance of “public things” in democratic life. Congratulations to Professor Wariboko on this exceptional recognition.
