Memory Bandits: Human Rights, Duke's History and a Plan to Expand History-Telling

Catalog description

This is affiliated with a Bass Connections project that takes on the societal and cultural challenge of historical memory, human rights and memorialization. We intend to mine memory studies to ask how, why and where people use the past for contemporary meaning; how the Duke campus currently embodies and tell its story; and how this team can help chart a deeper engagement with history. Consent of instructor is required.
