Angela Davis
Social problems, incarceration, criminalization, poverty, and women's issues are constant subjects of Davis’s work. She draws upon her own experience of spending 18 months in jail and on trial, being placed on the FBI’s “Ten Most Wanted List”, and her campaign to free the Soledad Brothers.
Davis is now a Distinguished Professor Emerita of History of Consciousness, an Interdisciplinary Ph.D. program, and of Feminist Studies at the University of California Santa Cruz. She has lectured throughout the world about feminism, social consciousness, and the prison industrial complex. She is also the author of nine books including The Meaning of Freedom: And Other Difficult Dialogue, and Are Prisons Obsolete?
The “Living the Legacy” event will take place at the Peter Stott Center, Portland State University, 930 S.W. Hall Street, January 21 at 6 pm.
The event is free for PSU students, and $15 for faculty, staff, and the general public. Buy tickets here.
