Description
The Dresher Center for the Humanities presents:
From the Global to the Local
Micro-Talks on the Power of Place in the Humanities
How does the power of place drive humanities research? What does civic engagement look like in both local and global contexts? This lunchtime session by UMBC faculty and Dresher Center Fellows offers a series of micro-talks on engaged, place-based research from the streets of Chennai, India to the neighborhoods of downtown Baltimore. The session will show the unexpected confluence of methods among place-based researchers and the surprising commonality of themes that emerge from their work.
Dr. Kimberly Moffit (AMST, LLC, and IA Planning Committee member) is one of the panelists of this IA session. Please see flyer for more information.
The Dresher Center for the Humanities sponsors this lunchtime session, which is part of the Imagining America Conference.
