Teaching for the Common Good: Engaging with the Americans Who Tell The Truth Project
Tue, 16 Apr 2024 2:15 PM - 3:30 PM
In Fall 2024, the Department of Justice Studies, in collaboration with partners across the campus community, will host an exhibition of portraits from Americans Who Tell the Truth, a project focused on “using the power of art to illuminate the ongoing struggle to realize America's democratic ideals and model the commitment to act for the common good.” As revealed by the sortable portrait gallery, the project honors a wide range of truth-tellers, across various times and issues, including environmental issues, food and health, community development, civil rights, journalism and media, young activists, and more.
Join this roundtable to explore interdisciplinary collaborations and opportunities to incorporate this project into your teaching in the fall (and beyond). We welcome faculty from all disciplines!
