Session on the Contributions of the late Dr. John
Ogbu:
“Beyond
Theoretical, Minority Group Status, and Academic
Achievement Dichotomies in the Work of John Ogbu”
In
honor of the late Professor, Dr. John Obgu, UREAG
seeks to recognize Ogbu’s contribution to education,
both in the United States and abroad and his attempt
to address the social, economic and political
forces that shape the education of racial and
ethnic groups worldwide. Dr. Ogbu’s analysis
spans the world over, with his primary focus on
and analysis of the motivation and performance
of involuntary and voluntary minorities among
African Americans in the U.S., as well as his
interest on collective identity among racial and
ethnic minority groups in North America, Asia,
and other contemporary societies. While his work
has not been universally embraced, his provocative
work has been catalyst for discoveries and challenges
to his cross-cultural, ecological theoretical
analyses. UREAG recognizes Dr. Ogbu’s numerous
areas of recognition such as recipient of the
Margaret Mead award by the Society of Applied
Anthropology, the Distinguished Research Contributor
to Education Award by the American Educational
Research Association, the Spencer Foundation Research
Mentorship Award and posthumously, the George
and Louise Spindler Award of the Council of Anthropology
and Education.
