Memory Activism
A workshop with anthropologist/ethnographer/filmmaker Ruth Behar
Friday, April 16 2010 , 12- 2 pm

In this workshop we will reflect on different forms of memory activism, in ethnography and literature as well as public outreach through museums and other forms of public culture. I will share some thoughts about the meaning of memory activism in contemporary thinking and then open the floor to discussion with the audience.
