Professor of Sociology & Political Science
Director, Latin American Studies Program
When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it―always.
-Mahatma Gandhi
