anita hill to keynote academy of women achievers celebration

Noted professor and author Anita Hill will be keynote speaker at YWCA Boston's 17th Annual Academy of Women Achievers Celebration Luncheon on June 15th.

Professor of Social Policy, Law, and Women's Studies at the Heller School for Social Policy and Management at Brandeis University, Hill has worked extensively in the areas of international commercial law, bankruptcy, and civil and women's rights, was the co-editor of Race, Gender and Power in America (1995) and has contributed to numerous scholarly and legal publications. 

 

"Anita Hill is not only a first rate scholar, professor and speaker, she is also someone who thinks deeply and writes eloquently about some of the most important issues of our day," says YWCA Boston President Sylvia Ferrell-Jones.

"Her writings on educational and social policy are thought-provoking and daring. Professor Hill's upcoming book, Reimagining Equality, on the concept of home and community and whether access to these key aspects of life can be guaranteed under the law will be a most interesting read. I can hardly wait to hear her speak at the YWCA Academy of Women Achievers Celebration Luncheon on June 15, and I'm eager to read her new book."
