Dr Cornel West Hits Up Oz

It’s not often someone with as much knowledge, talent and the willingness to teach visits our shores, and that’s why we’re pretty excited about Dr Cornel West coming to Australia. He’ll visit Melbourne on June 12 to talk on race, gender and class in today’s society. “I see comparisons between my country and Australia in terms of race, gender, class and culture and I believe a revolution in our priorities, a reevaluation of our values, a reinvigoration of our public life and a fundamental transformation of our way of thinking and living is needed to get our countries back on track,” Dr Cornel West says.
