1619 Project Session #2: Bodies on the Line: Prisons and Health Care
Details
For each session, two to three faculty members from the History Department will discuss relevant themes and readings. These sessions will be held remotely.
The goals of these gatherings are three-fold: to affirm the History Department's and Bowdoin College's continued commitment to inclusion and diversity in light of recent events; to use our skills as historians to analyze and share our interpretations of this current moment of racial reckoning for the Bowdon community with the help of The 1619 Project; and to answer the call from Academic Affairs to create programming for students, especially first-years on campus, during this difficult time.
