Cooper Thompson

Cooper Thompson has been leading workshops, consulting, and organizing against sexism, homophobia, and racism for 30 years. Although he was born and raised in the United States, he has lived in Germany since 2003. He is the author of many essays and educational materials on oppression, and a co-author of White Men Challenging Racism: 35 Personal Stories (2003, Duke University Press; all author royalties go directly to fund antiracist work.) His latest work, Losing My Voice and Finding Another, is a memoir about his experience learning and using German. It was published in 2012 by MSI press. Most of the essays, and excerpts from the two books, can be found at www.cooper-thompson.com/essays.
