Arts of Citizenship breakfast!
March 23 with LSA Dean Terry McDonald.
Time: 9-10:30 a.m.
Location: 2239 Lane Hall (corner of State and Washington Sts.)
Terrence McDonald, LSA Dean and Professor of History, "Problems and Possibilities of Community-Based Learning and Engaged Scholarship: A Dean's Perspective"
How should a research university value public scholarship? What defines "public scholarship," which has an academic value, as opposed to "community participation," which is part of being an active citizen but doesn't constitute legitimate scholarship?
Arts of Citizenship has invited Terrence McDonald, LSA Dean and Professor of History, to discuss questions of scholarship, legitimacy and the public good with faculty, staff, and students invested in community partnerships and democratic engagement through the art and humanities. All are invited to be part of this conversation.

The Thursday Series
Colloquium
with
Rudolf Mrazek
University of Michigan
“Writing without Ear: The Soundly Historical in a Colonial Archive”
In this lecture Rudolf Mrazek explores how the “crooked line” might sound (referring to Geoff Eley’s recent book, A Crooked Line: From a Cultural History to the History of Society). This talk will be based on interviews conducted in Indonesia between 1990 and 2005 with elderly men and women about their childhood. Moved by the interviews, Mrazek explores how many senses are too many for a historian approaching the history of a colony. He also probes whether and how textual and visual documents of this period might be heard.
