The Anna Julia Cooper Center on Gender, Race, and Politics in the South The Anna Julia Cooper Center is an interdisciplinary center based at Wake Forest University that fosters scholarly research, supports student engagement, and connects with community organizations dedicated to issues of gender, race, and politics in the United States and global south. The Center is named for the foundational black feminist intellectual, activist, and educator of the early 20th century, Anna Julia Cooper, whose pioneering scholarship and activism laid the foundation for black American feminism and insisted on the importance of Southern voices in American politics. The Center engages the intersection and interaction of multiple identities as the core of its investigation of politically meaningful questions. The Center for Medicine, Health and Society The Center for Medicine, Health and Society is an innovative multidisciplinary center that studies the social and societal dimensions of health and illness. Our scholarship, teaching, and wide-ranging collaborative projects explore medicine and science in a wide array of cultural contexts, while at the same time fostering productive dialogue across disciplinary boundaries. The Center is based at Vanderbilt University. This symposium is supported by the Pro Humanitate Institute at Wake Forest University. Special thanks to the Center for Bioethics, Health & Society at Wake Forest University.
