Among the many distinguished speakers will be Carol Anderson. Carol Anderson is an associate professor of history at the University of Missouri and has recently completed a fellowship at Harvard University's Charles Warren Center for Studies in American History. Professor Anderson's research focus is public policy; particularly the ways that domestic and international policies intersect through the issues of race, justice and equality in the United States. She is the author of Eyes off the Prize: The United Nations and the African-American Struggle for Human Rights, 1944 1955, which was published by Cambridge University Press and awarded both the Gustavus Myers and Myrna Bernath Book Awards. In her forthcoming book, Bourgeois Radicals: The NAACP and the Struggle for Colonial Liberation, 1941 1960, Professor Anderson resurrects the role of the African-American political center and its decades-long fight for the political and economic liberation of peoples of color in Africa and Asia.

Her research has garnered substantial funding support from the American Council of Learned Societies, the Ford Foundation, National Humanities Center, Harvard University, and the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History. Professor Anderson has also received numerous teaching awards, including the William T. Kemper Fellowship for Teaching Excellence, the Maxine Christopher Shutz Award for Distinguished Teaching, and the Gold Chalk Award for Outstanding Graduate Teaching.

Professor Anderson serves as a member of the U.S. State Department's Historical Advisory Committee and is on the Board of Directors of the Harry S. Truman Institute for National and International Affairs.

She is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Miami University, where she earned bachelors and master's degrees in Political Science, International Relations, and History. She earned her Ph.D. in History from The Ohio State University.
