The Public Research Fellows Virtual Series will host “The Fight to Vote: Engaging the Public in Suffrage Past, Present, and Future,” a panel discussion featuring students, faculty, and activists as they talk about their work in the inaugural 2019-2020 year of the Public Research Fellows program, on Thursday, October 1, 6-7 p.m. Use this link to attend.
As we look ahead to November, voting rights have never been a more important part of the national conversation. But what are the best ways to engage the public on this vital issue? And how can academic work make a real difference in how we understand the history of the vote and its meaning today? Join us for a conversation on suffrage movements, voting rights, and the role the public humanities can play in widening the scope of academic research today.
