Join the College of Arts and Humanities (ARHU) at the University of Maryland for its Dean’s Colloquium Series on Race, Equity and Justice, a conversation series featuring ARHU faculty experts. Launched in Fall 2020 and hosted by Dean Bonnie Thornton Dill, the yearlong series increases awareness of issues related to systemic racism, equity and inequality and encourages dialogue and ideas for social action and change. The series is part of ARHU’s campaign to address race, equity and justice in its curriculum, scholarship, programming and community engagement. Each conversation is free but registration is required.
This colloquium will engage the audience in a talk titled “The Lakeland Digital Archive: Toward an Equitable Community/University Collaboration” and features:
- Mary Corbin Sies, associate professor of American studies and board member for the Lakeland Community Heritage Project
- Trevor Muñoz, director for the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities
- Violetta Sharps-Jones, historian and genealogist and board member for the Lakeland Community Heritage Project
- Maxine Gross, historian of Lakeland and president of the Lakeland Community Heritage Project
These conversations are ARHU TerrapinSTRONG events.
