As the pioneer of the field of sociology of sport, Dr. Harry Edwards has been leading and trumpeting the calls for justice through sport and in society long before the racial reckoning and viral social media posts of 2020. Sponsored by the Institute for the Study of Societal Issues and Cal Athletics, this celebratory event is an opportunity for members of the UC Berkeley community to honor the tremendous contributions of Dr. Edwards as a professor (at UC Berkeley and other institutions), thought-leader, scholar, activist and internationally-recognized voice for the power of sport in and as activism, and the power of activism in sport. Join us for what will be a dynamic lecture by Dr. Edwards and a thoughtful moderated conversation that will provide us fresh access to his sage insights on contemporary realities that are grounded in histories he knows, has lived, and continues to study.
