\nKINGSTON, R.I. — January 21, 2003 — Paul Gilroy, a leading cultural theorist, will visit the 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Kingston campus next month to give the Ninth Annual Lecture on Multiculturalism. <\/p>\n

Gilroy, chair of African American Studies and professor of sociology at Yale University, will speak on Thursday, Feb. 13 in Chafee Auditorium, Room 271 at 7 p.m. The talk, free and open to the public, is sponsored by 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Multicultural Center. <\/p>\n

One of the leading voices in British cultural studies, Gilroy is especially concerned with issues such as the social construction of race: the intersection of race, culture, and power; post- colonial theory; and modernity and consciousness. His interdisciplinary writings have been described as idealist, expansionist, revisionist, and by some, iconoclastic. <\/p>\n

His books and speeches have generated attention and debate. His 1993 book The Black Atlantic: Imagining Political Culture Beyond the Color Line, is a widely used and debated text in black studies, proposed to replace the field\u2019s traditionally regional focus (Africa, America, the West Indies) with a broader approach. <\/p>\n

His Black Atlantic: Modernity and Double Consciousness won the American Book Award in 1994. Recent work includes Against Race: Imagining Political Culture Beyond the Color Line (Belknap Press Cambridge, Mass. 2000). <\/p>\n

Born in London, Gilroy received his doctorate from Birmingham University, generally regarded as the intellectual cradle of British cultural studies. Prior to Yale, Gilroy was a professor of sociology at Goldsmiths College, the University of London. <\/p>\n

\tGilroy will visit the 溏心vlog免费B站 campus on Wednesday, Feb. 12 to speak to three classes and hold an open discussion. <\/p>\n

\tThe annual lecture on multiculturalism is a public series featuring nationally known scholars presenting lectures and stimulating debate. Since the fall of 1999, the lectures have focused on the significance and impact of multiculturalism in a global arena. <\/p>\n
