@nathankelber Humanities is about more than preparing students for jobs. It is about adequately preparing students to be mentors of their communities. Humanities education is in crisis- let's bring it back to serving community. #networkdetroit2018
@ErisuEEE It is important to remember that the work of archivist & librarians @rollinscollege are the reason we can see this kind of erasure. Their support made it possible for my students to recover these narratives. #networkdetroit2018
Undergraduate research experiences change lives- Lior Shamir demonstrates that course-based research experiences serve less privileged students who don't have time outside of class #networkdetroit#2018

Students in @JulianChambliss classes go into communities to recover black stories, complemented by archival research to uncover erasures in narratives around race in Central Florida #networkdetroit2018
