Wisconsin Alumni | Sifting and Reckoning with the Public History Project
December 6, 2022 @ 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Since it opened in September, Sifting & Reckoning: UW–Madison’s History of Exclusion and Resistance, the inaugural exhibition of the the UW Public History Project, has shed light on student stories of struggle, persistence, and resilience that permeate the university’s past and present.
At Wisconsin Idea Spotlight: Sifting and Reckoning with the Public History Project, get a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the exhibition from the historians who brought these long-buried stories to the forefront. Join us for a pre-program reception with refreshments and conversation before sitting down with Taylor Bailey MA’22, assistant director of the Public History Project; Christy Clark-Pujara, professor in the UW Department of African-American Studies and member of the Public History Project steering committee; and Kacie Lucchini Butcher, director of the Public History Project, to learn about the project’s origins, the process of curating the exhibition, and some of the surprising discoveries made along the way. The presentation will be moderated by Jessica Arp ’04, managing director of communications at the Wisconsin Foundation and Alumni Association, and a Q & A session will follow. The evening will conclude with a closing reception.
