The Center for Western Civilization, Thought & Policy will host Dr. Tufuku Zuberi on Feb. 15, for his lecture "Fear of White Demographic Suicide." Dr. Zuberi is speaking as part of the CWCTP's semester-long dialogue series focusing on American identities.
Dr. Zuberi is the Lasry Family Professor of Race Relations, and Professor of Sociology and Africana Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. His research primarily focuses on Race, African and African Diaspora populations. Dr. Zuberi's primary goal is to bring a fresh view of culture and society to the public by utilizing different platforms beyond lecturing. Dr. Zuberi has written and produced an award-winning feature-length documentary film titled, African Independence. The film highlights the birth, realization, and problems relating to the movement to win independence in Africa.
Dr. Zuberi also hosts the PBS television program History Detectives. The show is dedicated, "to exploring the complexities of historical mysteries, searching out the facts, myths and conundrums that connect local folklore, family legends, and interesting objects."
Students, faculty, and members of the public are encouraged to attend the lecture. The scheduled presentation will take place in the UMC, room 235, beginning at 5:30 pm. The discussion will be followed by a Q&A session and a small reception and will wrap around 7:30 pm.
For this event, RSVP is required for guaranteed admittance. Walk-ins will be admitted on a first-come, seat-available basis ten minutes before the start of the talk after those with RSVPs have been admitted. Please register for the event via the CU Events Calendar.
