Event Details - Mellon Grant: Africana Studies in the Humanities

Monday, November 3, from 4:30-6:30 in the Wyckoff Center 

Steering committee members cordially invite you to come celebrate the culmination of four years of racial justice initiatives emerging from the Mellon Foundation-funded grant, “Africana Studies and the Humanities at Skidmore: Transnational Explorations in Social Justice.” If you participated in any aspect of these initiatives—from racial justice learning communities, to work with the postdoctoral fellows, to summer research faculty-student collaboration, to developing new Black Studies courses, to nominating exemplary student work focused on racial justice—this is a moment to celebrate your ongoing commitment to this important work. Folks will share their experiences, we will unveil a short documentary commemorating these efforts, and, of course, what is a celebration without food?
