Columbia University’s Alliance Program has named six visiting professors, including Frank Guridy, the Dr. Kenneth and Kareitha Forde Professor of African American and African Diaspora Studies. He is also a professor of history and the executive director of the Eric H. Holder Initiative for Civil and Political Rights at Columbia.
Guridy and the five other visiting professors will dedicate either one semester or a few weeks to teaching a course and delivering public lectures.
The Alliance Program was formed in 2008 as an academic joint-venture between Columbia University and three major French higher education institutions: École Polytechnique, Sciences Po, and Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University. As a laboratory for innovation in Higher Education, Alliance explores the future of global education and encourages the exchange of people, knowledge practices and resources.
