I am not sure when the month of March began, but somehow the last day of classes is fast approaching. This means it is the season of student exhibition projects and iSchool conferences. I for one cannot wait to see what the 2nd year MMSt students have been working so hard on!

4. ROM Speaks: The Stranger's Notebook
This lecture, presented by Dawit L. Petros and Elizabeth Harney, is a brief overview of their multi-disciplinary project, The Stranger's Notebook. The project examines the migration of people and cultures as a key constituent of modernity’s extended arc. It draws from research and work made during a 13-month journey in Africa and Europe (2014-2015) and from “On The Author’s Journey,”(1895) the first autobiographical travelogue written in an indigenous African language. A reception will follow the lecture.
When: Tuesday March 22, 2016, 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
