Her books include the award-winning Keepin’ It Real: School Success beyond Black and White; Stubborn Roots: Race, Culture, and Inequality in U.S. & South African Schools; and Closing the Opportunity Gap: What America Must Do to Give Every Child an Even Chance, co-edited with Dr. Kevin Welner.

Professor Carter is the 2022-23 President of the American Sociological Association.
This annual lecture series was established by Dr. Raymond Hakim in honor of his late wife, Catherine McLaughlin Hakim ’70. A sociology major at Emmanuel, Catherine studied under longtime sociology professor Sister Marie Augusta Neal, SNDdeN, who left an especially indelible mark on her student experience. The lecture series commemorates Catherine’s life, her fondness for Emmanuel, and the relationships she formed at the College and continued to maintain throughout her life.
The event is open to all students and alumni. Sponsored by the Emmanuel College Department of Sociology, the Catherine McLaughlin Hakim ’70 Lecture Series focuses on issues of sociology, social justice and public policy on the local, national and international levels.
Virtual attendees will recieve Zoom information upon registration. Registration is free with a suggested donation of $25 to the Emmanuel Fund.
