Vision

The HB teaching philosophy is grounded in the ideas of W.E.B. DuBois. The team couples objective analysis with personal ideology in a way that blends serious scholarship with passionate forms of social action. As advocates for social change, they use historical-comparative approaches to create an entry-point for dialogue and a deep understanding of social conditions.
