Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham, professor, Harvard University selected as one of the Top 10 Black Women in Higher Education.
Scholar, theologian and author Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham is a professor of African-American studies at Harvard. Her work, which centers on religion, race and women, has been celebrated widely for its cultural insight and deep reach into little-known corners of American religious history. A trusted confidant of Henry Louis Gates Jr., head of the DuBois Institute for African and African-American Studies at Harvard, the two scholars are currently leading the largest African-American biography project ever undertaken in American history. A former professor at Dartmouth, the University of Maryland and the University of Pennsylvania, Higginbotham is also the author of the widely-referenced book, 'Righteous Discontent: The Women's Movement in the Black Baptist Church, 1890-1920.' Higginbotham, a graduate of the University of Rochester, Howard and the University of Wisconsin, is currently working on the memoir of her late husband, U.S. circuit court judge and Harvard professor Leon Higginbotham.
