In 2013, the Cornelia Goethe Center for Women's Studies and the Study of Gender (CGC) established the Angela Davis Guest Professorship in International Gender and Diversity Studies. The Guest Professorship serves to promote international and interdisciplinary collaboration in the fields of Gender and Diversity Studies.
The inauguration by its namesake, activist, public intellectual, and scholar Prof. Angela Davis, attracted considerable public attention both nationally and internationally. Following professors Chandra Talpade Mohanty (2015) and Amina Mama (2018), this year's Angela Davis Guest Professorship will be held by Ann Phoenix.
