Judith Rollins
Monday, March 23, 2009, 12:00 pm Conrades Wetherall Science Center, Room 151
Judith Rollins is professor emerita of Sociology and Africana Studies at Wellesley College. Educated at Howard and Brandeis universities, she is the author of articles on the social psychology of domination, the ideological role of domestic service, the Civil Rights Movement, the Women's Movement, and Caribbean women. Her most recent article, "And the Last Shall Be First: The Master-Slave Dialectic in Hegel, Nietzsche and Fanon," was published in the Summer 2007 issue of Human Architecture: Journal of the Sociology of Self-Knowledge.
She is also the author of two books. Between Women: Domestics and Their Employers received the 1987 Jessie Bernard Award of the American Sociological Association for its contribution to women's studies and was chosen for Contemporary Sociology's 1996 Special Issue on "Favorite Books of the Past 25 Years." Her 1995 oral history, All is Never Said: The Narrative of Odette Harper Hines, was described by historian Darlene Clark Hine as "by far one of the best books I have read in all my years of working in the field of Black women's history."
Dr. Rollins is the current president of the Association of Black Sociologists (ABS), the largest organization in the U.S. of sociologists with an interest in the Africana world and/or of African descent. As chair of the Association's 2008 conference in Boston, she organized the highly successful meeting around the theme "Challenging Hierarchies: Nation, Race, Class, Gender and Sexuality."
