We hope you are able to join us, virtually, for the 27th annual Butler A. Jones Lecture Series on Race and Society as Ric Sheffield, professor of sociology and legal studies at Kenyon College, discusses “Race and the Right to Vote in Ohio: A New Look at the Old Struggle for Inclusion” via Zoom.
A lawyer, Sheffield’s research focuses upon the relationship between the law and issues of gender, race, and ethnicity. He has published articles and reviews on topics including the right to a fair trial, free speech and press, and African American social and legal history. Currently, he is completing a manuscript on voting rights cases in Ohio in the late 1860s and early 1870s.
Wednesday, Oct. 7 at 7 pm.
