Faculty note: Morgan publication

Eric J. Morgan, assistant professor of Democracy and Justice Studies, recently published an article, “His Voice Must Be Heard: Dennis Brutus, the Anti-Apartheid Movement, and the Struggle for Political Asylum in the United States,” in the July 2015 issue of Peace & Change: A Journal of Peace Research. Morgan’s article explores the high-profile struggle of Brutus, a South African poet, activist, and exile, with the Reagan Administration to win political asylum after receiving a controversial deportation order during the early years of Reagan’s constructive engagement policies toward South Africa and the nascent anti-apartheid movement of the early 1980s. Prof. Morgan also recently returned from Arlington, Va., where he chaired and contributed to a roundtable panel on “Innovative Pedagogies, Student Learning, and the Future of the U.S. and the World Classroom” at the annual meeting of the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations (SHAFR).
