Derrick Darby will discuss the racial achievement gap which he is writing about in an upcoming co-authored book. The book takes a historical look at the origins of the racial achievement, going back to nineteenth century antebellum America, and argues that they matter for social justice efforts today. He is currently a professor of philosophy as the University of Michigan and also a visiting professor of The Law School.  He works in the areas of social, political, and legal philosophy with a special focus on race, racism, and racial inequality. Derrick Darby received his BA from Colgate University and his MA and PhD from the University of Pittsburgh.
