Prof. Frank Harris III, chair of the Journalism Department at Southern Connecticut State University, has a deep interest in the role of race and ethnicity in all aspects of life -- social, political, medical, educational. In addition to teaching courses in journalism, including developing a course that deals with race, he writes a weekly column for the Hartford Courant. His conference participation in Johannesburg is an extension of his previous work as chair of Southern's Minority Recruitment & Retention Committee, his attendance at the National Conference on Race and Ethnicity in 2002 (New Orleans) and 2003 (San Francisco), the Worldwide Conference on Education & Culture in Rome, Italy, in December 2006, and his participation as a panelist in the National Association for Ethnic Studies' conference, ''American Values and the Challenge to Human Rights: Ethnic and Racial Dimensions'' in late March 2007 at State University of New York.
