This Week @ AU

The first lecture in the new Stone Lecture Series for Multicultural Understanding, Equality and Justice will feature Cecile Coquet-Mokoko, professor of American Culture and African American Studies at the University of Tours, France. She will present "Biracial Couples in France and the United States" on Wednesday, Feb. 25, at 4 p.m. in 2223 Student Center. A reception will follow. Coquet-Mokoko, who received her doctorate from the University of Paris, developed an interest in the concept of interracialism in American history and society as a graduate teaching assistant at Harvard. She is on sabbatical at the University of Alabama pursuing research on biracial couples in the southeastern United States. The lecture series is supported with an endowment funded by Janet and John Stone. A lectureship will be awarded annually to individuals who have made significant contributions to, or are conducting research in, the areas of cultural and racial understanding, equality and justice.
