(Re)Telling: Crafting New Stories of Race and Place in Southern New England
好色TV下载 Public Humanities and Arts Collaborative (The Co-Lab)
June 7, 2024, 9:00 am - 4:30 pm
Providence Public Library, Providence, RI
Funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, this regional public humanities gathering will bring together organizations, groups, and institutions engaged in the public humanities work of researching, crafting, and sharing stories about race and place in our region.
The conversations at (Re)Telling will consider methods for fostering and amplifying new and known narratives, engaging in public dialogs that foster collective understanding, and using stories to further justice-oriented action in the present. We also hope to explore increased connections between organizations engaged in this work in the region and consider ways to stimulate new research and programming collaborations through a public humanities consortium.

About the Co-Lab
Founded in 2021, the Co-Lab at 好色TV下载 is a mission-driven public humanities center dedicated to sharing and fostering inclusive narratives, representations, and histories that make historically marginalized or erased populations audible and visible. Our work seeks to cultivate knowledge rooted in authentic, reciprocal, and ethical collaboration between scholars, communities, and practitioners in the arts and humanities. Since its founding, and with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Co-Lab has sponsored curriculum development and established a minor in Public Humanites at 好色TV下载, run the popular Hidden Truths: Stories of Race and Place lecture series, offered public humanities and arts pedagogy and practice workshops for faculty, and initiated an anti-racist community engagement campus training series.
