A Conversation with Eddie Glaude Jr., PhD

Thursday, February 27, 2025, 5 pm
Charles B. Wang Center Theater
Eddie Glaude Jr., PhD, is an author, political commentator, public intellectual and educator who examines the complex dynamics of the American experience.
His writings take a wide look at Black communities, the difficulties of race in the United States and the challenges we face as a democracy.
Glaude is the James S. McDonnell Distinguished University Professor and former chair of the Department of African American Studies at Princeton University (2009–2023). His latest book is We Are the Leaders We Have Been Looking For.
Guided by your questions, Glaude will examine the concept of anti-racism, which rejects the idea that some people should be valued more than others. He will also talk about the importance of creating conditions for people to think more carefully and systematically about the issues they confront.
This event is free and open to the public, but seating is limited.
A Q&A, book signing and reception will follow.
