BMRC 2022 FELLOWS PRESENTATION SERIES
On behalf of the Black Metropolis Research Consortium, you are invited to our BMRC Summer 2022 Fellows Presentation Series. This is an opportunity to learn more about the current research of our ‘22 BMRC Fellows, each pinpointing a specific aspect of Black Chicago’s history and culture that aligns with their overall research area. Fellows will provide context for their research, share the intent of their specific summer project, discuss the significance and impact of their findings thus far and plans for further study.
SERIES PRESENTATION DATES: Summer series complete. Stay tuned for a fall presentation soon!
