Pearl Dowe, Asa Griggs Candler Professor of African American Studies and Political Science, has been selected as a member of the inaugural advisory board of the Kamala Harris Project. Established in early 2021, the Kamala Harris Project is an academic consortium of scholars in U.S. politics, history and public policy who will study the term of the United States’ first woman of color vice president. “It is an honor to collaborate with esteemed scholars on what this momentous moment will mean for racial and gender equity, public policy and future opportunities for girls of color," Dowe says. "Vice President Harris' journey to this moment has brought attention to the inner world of Black culture and the diversity of American immigrants. How we study all of these complexities will matter for generations to come."
