Rhea Muchalla and Angela Davis

Senior philosophy major Rhea Muchalla had the opportunity to meet one of her intellectual inspirations in the fall of 2008 when she attended the Radical Philosophy Association biennial conference in San Francisco. Here is Rhea, pictured with Angela Davis, author of numerous works including, most recently, Abolition Democracy: Beyond Prisons, Torture and Empire. Rhea also presented a paper at the conference, about her research on Bangladeshi women and dowry, undertaken as part of her study abroad in January of 2008 with HECUA.
