An interdisciplinary “Ask the Expert” forum
The Center for Social Science Scholarship is convening an “Ask the Expert” virtual forum on social science responses to COVID-19, featuring faculty panelists:
Nicholas Bonneau, lecturer, Department of History; a historian of science and medicine and a public historian; also currently teaching HIST 200, “Global History of Pandemics”
Join us for an online discussion of Tara Westover's Educated.
Watch this space for a link to the online meeting.
Educated is a bestselling memoir by a young woman who was born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho and grew up isolated from mainstream society, with no formal education until the age of 17. Her quest for knowledge took her to Harvard and Cambridge, transformed her into a new person, and drove a wedge between her and some of her family.
The response in Baltimore to the death of 25-year-old Freddie Gray left a tremendous impact on the city and across the country, the frustration about police brutality toward African Americans remains. Are we moving in the right direction? What does it mean to say Black Lives Matter? Let’s share lessons we learned from the uprising.
We hope your virtual visit to the Pratt Library is a positive one.
