Activating American Cultures: The Politics of Identity, Media, and Public Policy
The Chesapeake Chapter of the American Studies Association announces its Spring conference, to be held at the University of Maryland, College Park on April 4-5, 2008.
The campus, located in Prince George’s County—with its ongoing debates over suburban sprawl, gentrification, the K-12 school system, and immigration—and in proximity to the nation’s capitol, represents a highly appropriate place to explore the Spring conference’s theme, “Activating American Cultures: The Politics of Identity, Media, and Public Policy.” The county embodies a working laboratory for teachers, artists, documentary filmmaker, preservationists, museum curators, nonprofit organizations and others to challenge what is taken for granted within the dramatic changes of the 21st century.
Registration is free; lunch is $10, $5 for students. Please register by March 31.
