On April 26, the Mississippi Humanities Council and the Sarah Isom Center for Women and Gender Studies at the University of Mississippi will host “Ideas on Tap: What Do We Commemorate & Why?” at Proud Larry’s in Oxford.
The program will feature Dr. Charles Ross, Director of African American Studies & Professor of History at the University of Mississippi; Dr. Anne Twitty, Associate Professor of History at the University of Mississippi; Cindy Gardner, administrator of the Two Mississippi Museums; and Alysia Steele, Assistant Professor of Journalism at the University of Mississippi. Dr. Graham Bodie, Visiting Professor of Journalism at the University of Mississippi, will moderate.
The free and open to the public conversation will address the issue of commemoration, how we decide what to commemorate, and what the implications of commemoration are.
“Ideas on Tap: What Do We Commemorate & Why?” will take place in conjunction with the Isom Center’s annual “Radical South” programming.
