Matthew Freeman was a Roosevelt student committed to working for a world with true justice, equality and fairness. Matthew died days before he would have received his degree. Through the support of his parents, his legacy continues with this annual lecture and award presentation. This year’s Matthew Freeman Social Justice Awards will be presented to Roosevelt students Oneka Ijeoma and Renee Farwell for their commitment to bettering our world through activism.

The Mansfield Institute for Social Justice and Transformation and the Department of Political Science and Public Administration present the annual Matthew Freeman Lecture and Social Justice Award Ceremony.

This year’s distinguished lecturer is Anne Enke, Professor of Gender and Women’s Studies, History and LGBT Studies at the University of Wisconsin. Professor Enke is the author of Finding the Movement: Sexuality, Contested Space and Feminist Activism (Duke University Press, 2007).
