Dr. powell (who spells his name in lowercase in the belief that we should be "part of the universe, not over it, as capitals signify") is an internationally recognized expert in the areas of civil rights, civil liberties, structural racism, housing, poverty, and democracy. As Director of the Othering and Belonging Institute at the University of California, Berkeley, a research institute, he and his team bring together scholars, community advocates, communicators, and policymakers to identify and eliminate the barriers to an inclusive, just, and sustainable society and to create transformative change toward a more equitable world.
Dr. powell has been a long-time partner of Gamaliel. He was a keynote speaker at our first Race and Power in America Summit in Detroit in June 2015. We are pleased to welcome him back in this space.
