In Conversation with Historians

Panelists: Maria Eugenia Cotera, Elisheva Carlebach, Hilary Hallett, Kellie Carter Jackson, and Eugenia Y. Lean

Drawing from their research areas, our panelists will discuss women's struggles and achievements past and present, women's issues and achievements that have often been overlooked in formal records or mainstream history that have made an impact on women's rights and liberation, their own experiences and journeys as scholars and academics, and how we can empower women within the university and without.

Panelists: Samuel K. Roberts, Mabel O. Wilson, J.T. Roane, and Madison Ogletree

As educators and students, our panelists discuss their teaching methodologies, their research interests, and why it’s important to follow teaching with action and vice versa. How have communities organized to protect their people when the public institutions did not? Black History matters now and it matters all the time. In this conversation, we discuss how teaching and studying Black history has evolved and how it shapes our cultural memory.
