Dr. Jorgenson will discuss how racism and sexism in history prevent us from seeing the world clearly. “We cannot contend that we are free of all racial and gender prejudices, unless we are sure that we are aware of the racial and gender biases that we have been taught,” says Dr. Jorgensen.
Dr. Jorgensen is Professor Emeritus of Sociology at UC Davis, originally of Washington D.C. and now a longtime resident of Davis. He is the author of “Frederick Douglass and the Early Social Psychology of Racial Oppression” and “The Afro-American Critique of White Supremacist Science: A Chronology of a Tradition.” Dr. Jorgensen has lectured on “Unexpected Aspects of Black Musical Traditions about Black musical traditions’, in addition to teaching Sociology of Afro-America, Afro American Thought, and Race Relations. He was the first Black faculty to be hired at UC Davis in Sociology.
