Biography
Dr. Anthony J. Jackson an Assistant Professor of Sociology in The Department of Behavioral Sciences and Human Services at Bowie State University. He is a recent graduate from Howard University’s Department of Sociology and Criminology where he also served as a Lecturer. Dr. Jackson’s academic research challenges systems and structures that benefit from the exploitation and oppression of working-class people in general and Black people in particular. Trained in the philosophical, theoretical, and methodological principles of emancipatory sociology, Dr. Jackson’s pedagogy and praxis recognizes the value in movement education, community building, and liberatory consciousness development—an active process that happens in both the classrooms and within our communities.
