The outstanding work of Alain Locke, the distinguished African American writer, philosopher, and Oxford alumnus, will be honoured with a conference in Oxford in early October.
Rhodes House has nominated Locke Rhodes Scholar of the Week for the same period.
The symposium promises to be a stimulating set of conversations and performances celebrating Locke's relationship to Anglo-American culture and black modernity in his time, and into the future. There will be a musical performance by the multi-award winning British composer Errollyn Wallen, MBE.
The symposium organisers are Elleke Boehmer, Laura Marcus, Michèle Mendelssohn and Lloyd Pratt of the Oxford English Faculty.
The 'Alain Locke in the 21st Century' event will be a two-day symposium at the University of Oxford's Rothermere American Institute on the 12th to the 13th of October 2012. For a full schedule and conference registration information, please visit:
