Charles H. Long to Give Davis Lecture at Williams - November 07, 2007
WILLIAMSTOWN - Charles H. Long, emeritus professor of history of religions and former director of the Center for Black Studies at the University of California at Santa Barbara, will give this year's annual W. Allison Davis 1924 and John A. Davis 1933 Lecture at Williams College.
Long will discuss "Religion and the Sociological Imagination of African-American Social Scientists" on Thursday, Nov. 8, at 8 p.m. in Brooks Rogers Recital Hall.
He is the author of "Alpha, The Myths of Creation," "The History of Religions: Essays in Understanding" and "Significations: Signs, Symbols and Images in the Interpretation of Religion."
Long taught at Duke and the University of Chicago and, since his retirement in 1996, at the University of Cape Town in South Africa, the Universities of Michigan and of Missouri.
He has been a consultant to a number of organizations, including the African Heritage Museum and the National Endowment for the Humanities. He was one of the founding editors of the journal History of Religions and of the book series "Studies in Religion." He was also a founding member of the Society for the Study of Black Religion and president of that organization from 1987 to 1990.
The lecture series commemorates the work of two scholars and brothers, who made important contributions in the fields of social anthropology, political science, and the issues of race, class and caste in both the United States and Africa.
The lecture is delivered annually by a scholar whose work concentrates in some aspect of race, class or education in the United States. Previous lecturers have included Cornel West, Patricia Williams, Richard Rodriguez and Manning Marable. |
