This panel seeks to bring together a diverse group of professors whose work centers the process of recontextualizing history. There are two goals—to produce interesting discussion across disciplines and geographies, investigating how to properly critique “accepted histories.” As well to provide an educational entry point for students unfamiliar with critiques of history. Our hope is the audience leaves the panel with the ability to question the history that they were taught and will experience in their education.
The speakers on this panel challenge topics such as academic and literary canons, the linear progression of history, and its ultimate westernization. It is by centering voices and stories outside of these “accepted histories” that we are able to better understand the world around us. We hope to move closer to communicating a history that is open and inclusive to everyone.
