Hard Histories: Loyola University Maryland

Description

Join Hard Histories at Hopkins for a virtual conversation about how Baltimore-area cultural institutions are examining their own "hard histories."

Part of Hard Histories at Hopkins' ongoing series, this webinar will feature scholars from Loyola University Maryland, who are undertaking their own research into their institution's history surrounding Blackness, race, and slavery. Loyola's effort, which features a collaboration among faculty, archivists, and undergraduate students, will shed light on how individuals across the university are working productively in this effort. All told, the webinar will explore the multifaceted ways that academic institutions in Baltimore are embarking on a shared project to closely scrutinize their own histories surrounding race and considering next steps for this undertaking.

This webinar will feature Loyola's David Carey Jr., chair in History; Jenny Kinniff, head of archives and special collections at Loyola Notre Dame Library; and undergraduate students Brandon Nefferdorf and Anna Young, in conversation with Hard Histories at Hopkins Project Director Martha S. Jones.
