Dr. Maya Angelou to deliver inaugural CISCDR Maya Angelou Distinguished Interdisciplinary Lecture at Case Western Reserve University School of Law, November 9
Dr. Maya Angelou—the first Reynolds Professor at Wake Forest University, internationally lauded author, educator, civil-rights voice, and U.S. Poet Laureate—will be the inaugural speaker for the Case Western Reserve University School of Law's CISCDR Maya Angelou Distinguished Interdisciplinary Lecture on Thursday, November 9, at Strosacker Auditorium, 2125 Adelbert Rd., on the Case campus. Dr. Angelou's lecture will begin at 4:30 p.m.
CISCDR (pronounced "sister") is the acronym for Center for the Interdisciplinary Study of Conflict and Dispute Resolution. The Center grew out of interdisciplinary study conducted for the past five years by CISCDR Director and Law Professor Calvin Sharpe on the nature, causes and solutions to conflict in human social interactions.
Launched in April 2005, CISCDR's programming includes three distinguished lectures each year: the CISCDR Distinguished Scholar-in-Residence Lecture (legal scholar-Fall), the CISCDR Distinguished Visitor Lecture (legal practitioner-Spring), and the CISCDR Maya Angelou Distinguished Interdisciplinary Lecture (conflict scholar outside the legal profession-Fall or Spring).
"Dr. Maya Angelou, a renaissance woman whose civil rights activism, legendary wisdom and creativity embody an interdisciplinary approach to contemporary issues, promises to raise us all to a higher level of consciousness of the human potential—our own, and that of the people we are committed to serving—as well as to reinforce our commitments to achieving that potential," says CISCDR Director Calvin Sharpe.
Advance purchase tickets are $20 and are available by calling 216-691-6502. If available, tickets will also be sold at the door the day of the lecture. Parking will be available in the Veale Center garage (lot number 53), adjacent to the Veale Athletics and Recreation Center at Adelbert Road and Circle Drive. The entrance to Strosacker Auditorium is on the Case Quad. Directions to campus may be found at: http://www.case.edu/visit/map/dir.html.
