Sam Richards Biography

Some of Sam Richards' keynote addresses are the most influential speeches ever given. His classes—mainly about race and ethnicity—are among the most popular, drawing more than 700 students each term. Richards' iconoclastic approaches have gained him a place in David Horowitz's book, "The Professors: The 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America," where he is acknowledged for them. When the department could not find another professor to teach the course in 1991, the sociologist—who had never registered for any classes on race and ethnicity—was asked to do so. Richards' extensive trips to places like Japan, Haiti, Israel, Spain, Mexico, and more were prompted by his fascination with the idea of the other. Sam Richards' keynote speeches, more influenced by his personal experiences than academic research, concentrate on racial and ethnic marginalization. Richards earned his B.A. and M.A. degrees in sociology at the University of Toledo in his native Spain.
