Welcome, Gregory Parks

By Marc Lamont Hill

First, I’d like to extend a sincere thank you to Dr. R. L’Heureux Lewis for his brilliant contributions  in January.  We hope that he will continue to bless us with his insightful commentary in the future.

This month, we welcome Dr. Gregory S. Parks as our newest guest blogger.

Gregory S. Parks is the editor of three books on “Greek”-life:  African American Fraternities and Sororities: The Legacy and the Vision (with Tamara Brown & Clarenda Phillips), Black Greek-Letter Organizations in the Twenty-First Century: Our Fight Has just Begun, and Brothers and Sisters: Diversity within College Fraternities and Sororities (with Craig Torbenson). He is also co-editor of Critical Race Realism: Intersections of Psychology, Race, and Law ([with Shayne Jones, PhD & Jonathan Cardi, JD and foreword by Richard Delgado] The New Press, 2008). His primary research focus lies at the intersection of social science, race, and law; his secondary research interest is Black Greek-letter organizations.

Dr. Parks earned a BA in Psychology from Howard University, an MS in Forensic Psychology from the City University of New York, and an MA and PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of Kentucky. He is a 2008 JD candidate at Cornell University where he is the Acquisitions Editor for the Cornell Journal of Law and Public Policy and sits on the Moot Court Board. Dr. Parks will be clerking for The Honorable Anna Blackburne-Rigsby in the District of Columbia Court of Appeals for the 2008-2009 term.

Please me in thanking Dr. Lewis and welcoming Dr. Parks.
