WORLDWISE: Arts & Humanities Dean's Lecture Series: Claudia Rankine in conversation with Sheri Parks

Thursday, September 29, 2016 - 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM

Award-winning poet and MacArthur genius Claudia Rankine joins Sheri Parks for an intimate conversation on the role of public education, specifically art, in the making of American democracy. The event combines a poetry reading from Rankine's New York Times best-seller "Citizen: An American Lyric," and a discussion in which the two engage audience members on themes related to race, art and citizen making. 

In partnership with Maryland Humanities, Department of English and the UMD Democracy Then and Now initiative
