Michael Eric Dyson speaking at Auburn
Michael Eric Dyson will speak Thursday, Feb. 19, at 7 p.m. in the Student Center Ballroom. Hailed as one of the nation's most inspiring African Americans, Michael Eric Dyson has been credited with revitalizing the role of the public intellectual with the fervor of an ordained Baptist minister. Infusing intellectual thought with popular culture, Dyson focuses on topics of interest to the public. He eloquently melds scholarly insight with the phenomena of contemporary culture, emphasizing their interconnectedness and force in shaping our society. Dyson bridges gaps between generations, connecting civil rights identity to hip-hop culture while forging links between older and younger Americans, especially black Americans. As a cutting-edge historian, he educates the general public on the significance of hip-hop, not only in understanding black culture, but American culture as well. With his powerful voice, Dyson reaches beyond race, addressing the universal commonality of American concerns.
