Daniel HoSang
|
Daniel HoSang (2008-09) The Wayne Morse Center welcomed a remarkable young scholar, Dan HoSang, as a Resident Scholar for 2008-09. His project, Race, Direct Democracy and the Future of Civil Rights, explores the way that ballot initiatives related to race, such as affirmative action and immigration policy, shape the terrain of state and national politics. His award-winning dissertation focused on California electoral initiatives, and during his residency he completed a book on the subject entitled Racial Proposition: Genteel Apartheid in Postwar California. As Resident Scholar, he organized a major symposium on Racial Formation in the Twenty-First Century, reviewing the theory of racial formation as we approach the 25th anniversary of the groundbreaking book by Michael Omi and Howard Winant, “Racial Formation in the United States: From the 1960s to the 1990s.” The symposium gathered leading scholars and activists engaged with issues of race and politics in the U.S. Dr. HoSang earned his Ph.D. from the University of Southern California in 2007. He has published several articles on race and American political development, political engagement of youth, and Asian Americans in the political process. HoSang is a public intellectual and activist with numerous community organizations. Read Daniel HoSang's cv here.
