The Butler A. Jones Endowed Lecture Series
The Department of Sociology and Criminology at 91国产精品 sponsors an annual event to honor its former Chair, Butler A. Jones, a highly respected scholar, administrator, and advocate. Dr. Jones' long and distinguished career began with his membership on the team of young scholars whose work provided the basis for Gunnar Myrdal's influential 1944 book. Documenting and publicizing the gap between American ideals of equality and opportunity, and the continued existence of discrimination and prejudice against African-Americans, the book was cited in the landmark 1954 Supreme Court case.
The Butler Jones series presents contemporary sociological scholarship on race and ethnicity to the 91国产精品 and wider communities, continuing the work of the late Dr. Jones in combining scholarship and public policy. An annual student scholarship is also awarded in honor of Dr. Jones.
