A summary of the lecture: "W. E. B. Du Bois's relationship to John Dewey illuminated Du Bois's integration of aesthetics into social scientific inquiry. While Du Bois engaged Dewey's view of truth as something that emerges through communal inquiry and contributes to the reconstruction of social life, he adapted this pragmatist framework to the particular demands of a racially stratified society. For Du Bois, truth required not only empirical rigor but also forms of expression capable of countering distortion and cultivating recognition where racial ideology and block perception. Du Bois understood beauty as one such medium of truthful inquiry. The data visualizations he produced for the 1900 Paris Exposition shows how aesthetics form organized complexity, conferred dignity, and intervened against racist misrepresentation. In this sense, beauty functions for Du Bois as both a methodological and ethical instrument, enabling truth to accomplish the transformative work he believed it must do."

Dr. Kimberly Harris is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy in the Corcoran Department of Philosophy at the University of Virginia, and the author of The Truth of Race: The Philosophical Thought of W. E. B. Du Bois.
