Please join the UB Humanities Institute for presentations by our 2016-2017 Humanities New York Public Graduate Fellows: John Marsland and Laticia McNaughton.

This FREE and open to the public event will be held in downtown Buffalo’s historic Market Arcade building (617 Main Street) at the Partnership for the Public Good. Light fare and refreshments will be served.

The Graduate Student Public Humanities Fellowship was developed by Humanities New York in partnership with the University at Buffalo and six other humanities centers to bring humanities scholarship into the public realm, encourage emerging humanities scholars to conceive of their work in relation to the public sphere, develop scholars’ skills for doing public work, and strengthen the public humanities community in New York State.

Our 2016-2017 fellows will give work-in-progress presentations on their public humanities projects.

• John Marsland (Department of History), “Life on a Nickel’s Edge: Struggle and Dignity in Buffalo’s Poor Communities.”
• Laticia McNaughton (Department of Transnational Studies, American Studies Program), “Tewakhón:nis Skátne! (We Cook Together!): Indigenous Food and Language Restoration.”
