 | | Named one of the nation’s “50 most inspiring African-Americans,” “a superstar professor,” and a “street fighter in suit and tie,” Dr. Dyson, professor of religious studies and Africana studies at the University of Pennsylvania, brings his cultural and philosophical perspectives to the John Carroll campus. |
| | Dyson has written ten books in ten years, ranging from works in cultural criticism, race theory, religious thought, philosophical reflection and gender and sexual studies, to four books of "biocriticism" — works that use biography to probe social themes and cultural politics. |
| | Before all of that, the former church pastor was a teen father on welfare in his native Detroit who worked in several factories before starting college at 21. |
