Dr. Lisa Delpit, Knight Eminent Scholar and Executive Director for the

communication was cited when she received her MacArthur “Genius”
Fellowship. Delpit is a Antioch College Horace Mann Humanity Award

Antioch College who have “won some victory for humanity.” She describes
her strongest focus as “finding ways and means to best educate urban
students, particularly African-American, and other students of color.”
Among her publications are Other People’s Children: Cultural Conflict in the Classroom (1995); The Real Ebonics Debate: Power, Language, and the Education of African-American Children (co-edited with Theresa Perry, 1998); and The Skin That We Speak: Thoughts on Language and Culture in the Classroom (co-edited with Joanne Kilgour Dowdy, 2002).
