In October, 2005, Dr. Akua Benjamin visited Windsor for a week’s worth of activism and activities organized by the Women’s Studies Distinguished Visitor program at the University of Windsor. This photo was taken at the student social where Dr. Benjamin sat and talked informally with undergraduate students about racism, sexism and poverty and how to end it.

Dr. Benjamin is a feminist, activist, professor and Director of the School of Social Work at Ryerson University. From her bio there:

she has taught courses on community practice, group work, anti-oppression and human diversity, ethnic diversity and social issues, inter-cultural communication and Families in the Caribbean. Her research interests and community work are in the areas of anti-racism, crime, feminism, equity, anti-oppression, human rights and other related social justice issues. At present, Akua is a member of the management team on a project examining the impact of racism, violence and health on African Canadians and their families.
