Fr. Ted Said… Civil & Human Rights: Dianne Pinderhughes

Dianne Pinderhughes, Notre Dame Presidential Faculty Fellow, Chair and Professor in the Department of Africana Studies, and Professor of Political Science, speaks as part of the Alumni Association’s Fr. Ted Said…Speaker Series during Reunion 2019. The series offers thought-provoking talks by ND faculty and alumni that explore the world’s most pressing problems and honor the legacy of Fr. Hesburgh.

Pinderhughes’ research addresses inequality with a focus on racial, ethnic and gender politics and public policy in the Americas, explores the creation of American civil society institutions in the twentieth century, and analyzes their influence on the formation of voting rights policy. Pinderhughes was recently elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, one of the nation’s oldest learned societies and independent policy research centers.
