About Osagie Obasogie
Professor Obasogie teaches at the University of California, Hastings College of Law. His recent scholarship examines how blind people understand race. By engaging in qualitative research with individuals who have been totally blind since birth, his latest project provides an empirical basis from which to rethink core assumptiosn embedded in social and legal approaches to race and discrimination.

In addition to his work at Hastings, Professor Obasogie has a joint appointment with the University of California, San Francisco Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences and is a Senior Fellow at the Center for Genetics and Society. He is also an affiliated faculty member with the Robert Wood Johnson Health & Society Scholars Program at UCSF and UC Berkeley. Obasogie serves on the Board of Trustees for the Law & Society Association and is on the Steering Committee for the University of California Center for New Racial Studies.
