Neil Foley: "Whose History? Monuments, Memory, and Contested Pasts of the West and South"

On Monday, September 30, at 6:00 p.m., Dr. Neil Foley of Southern Methodist University will be giving a lecture entitled “Whose History? Monuments, Memory, and Contested Pasts of the West and South.” Dr. Foley is the Robert and Nancy Dedman Endowed Chair in History at SMU and the Co-Director of the Clements Center for Southwest Studies. Given contemporary conversations about the relationship between historical monuments and racism both past and present, Dr. Foley’s lecture should be of interest to many. This event is free and open to the public.

 

Dr. Foley’s visit to Gonzaga is sponsored by the English Department, the History Department, the Critical Race and Ethnic Studies Department, the Powers Chair of the Humanities, the Center for Public Humanities, Foley Library, and the Office for Diversity and Inclusion. If you have any questions about it or if you would like a flyer to share with your students, please feel free to contact the event coordinator, Ann Ciasullo, at ciasullo@gonzaga.edu.
