WorldCanvass ReCap: 
Against Amnesia
Guests on the February 22 WorldCanvass, Against Amnesia: Archives, Evidence, and Social Justice, explored the critical role of archives in our everyday lives and historical experience. The first event in the 2018 Provost's Global Forum-Obermann Humanities Symposium, the show's discussions opened the virtual doors of archival cabinets and shared some of Iowa's and our nation's most intriguing stories and little-known history-much of which might be lost if not for the thoughtful care and preservation undertaken by unsung heroes, sometimes at great personal risk. Check out the program recap.
The African Studies Program invites you to attend an upcoming lecture titled "The African Land Grab: Insights from Zambia" featuring guest speaker Tijo Salversa of the University of Cologne.
