Seble Dawit is a human rights lawyer, activist, and educator. Currently she is the director of the peace studies program and assistant professor at Goucher College in Baltimore, Maryland.

Professor Dawit has had a very distinguished career -- among her many accomplishments, she served for three years as the visiting assistant professor of women's studies at Wellesley College, co-founded the African Women's Leadership Institute, and directed Alliances, an African women's advocacy organization that supports policy-oriented gender programs throughout Africa.

The lecture is free and open to the public -- we welcome visitors from off-campus.

Professor Dawit's visit to campus is being cosponsored by the Office of the Provost, the Student Government Association, and the Students for a Just Peace.
