"Voices From Our America"
Ifeoma C.K. Nwankwo, Associate Professor of English
Dr. Nwankwo will share new insights and information gained through the work of her Voices from Our America project. As a contribution to the realization of the robustly democratic America envisioned and called for by humanists such as Langston Hughes, Frederick Douglass, and John Blassingame.
The Voices from Our America project uncovers previously inaudible, silenced, or neglected American voices to facilitate cross-cultural and cross-generational conversation and to make these exchanges a fundamental part of K-12, collegiate, graduate, and community education in the U.S. and Panama. It does so by generating novel methods and venues by and through which students, faculty, community members, and institutional stakeholders can work collaboratively to advance local and hemispheric knowledge, connectedness, and cooperation.
Box lunches will be provided for the the first 300 people to respond. Call 322-8585 to RSVP by December 7, 2009.
Complimentary luncheon series sponsored by Vanderbilt University and Nashville Public Library.
