Melissa Harris-Lacewell is Associate Professor of Politics and African American Studies at Princeton University. Her academic research is inspired by a desire to investigate the challenges facing contemporary black Americans and to better understand the multiple, creative ways that African Americans respond to these challenges. She is also an award winning author and appears regularly on MSNBC and other media venues.

In Fall 2010 Professor Harris-Lacewell is teaching two undergraduate courses. She is teaching POL 337-AAS338 Disaster, Race, and American Politics. This is a large lecture course. She is also teaching a smaller seminar WOM 202, Women in Politics, Media, and the Contemporary United States. Registration begins in April.
