Carol Anderson

Carol Anderson, an Associate Professor at the University of Missouri, is particularly intrigued with the ways that domestic and international policies intersect and weave their way through the issues of race, justice, and equality. This has led her to research and write on the question of the United Nations and international human rights and their tangled relationship with the struggle for black equality in the United States. She is now exploring the role of the NAACP in fighting for the liberation of peoples of color in Africa and Asia. To date, her research has garnered substantial support from the American Council of Learned Societies, the Ford Foundation, the Eisenhower Foundation, and the Council for Institutional Cooperation. Dr. Anderson received an A.B. and M.A. from Miami University, and her Ph.D. from Ohio State University.
