The School of History and the Centre for American Studies at the University of Kent warmly invite you to the 2019 Roger Anstey Lecture on Wednesday 16th January, at 5pm in Darwin Lecture Theatre 1 (DLT1), The University of Kent. This year’s speaker, Professor Barbara Savage of the University of Pennsylvania will be discussing Race, War and anti-Imperialism in Merze Tate’s International Thought.
Professor Merze Tate (1905-1996), an African American woman, pioneered
in the fields of diplomatic history and international relations during her tenure
at Howard University from 1942 to 1977. Trained at both Oxford and
Harvard, Tate was one of the few black women academics of her generation.
A prolific scholar with a wide-range of interests, her works covered the fields
of disarmament, the diplomatic and political histories of the Pacific, and the
role of railways and mineral extraction industries in the colonization of Africa.
All are welcome to attend the lecture and a wine reception afterwards.
