St. Lawrence students will present their year-long public history project exploring feminism in the North Country during the 1970s and 1980s as part of a photo-narrative exhibit at the Traditional Arts in Upstate New York Center.
St. Lawrence students combed through archives, gathered newsletters and objects, and collected oral histories from activists who still live in the North Country to tell the stories of women in intentional communities and involved in feminist activism. This free event will feature presentations by students and visual displays. Light refreshments will be provided.
The North Country public history project is supported by a grant from the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) under the guidance of Associate Professor of History Judith DeGroat, TAUNY’s Executive Director Jill Breit, and Director of Research and Programs Camilla Ammirati. The CIC’s “Humanities Research for the Public Good” initiative is generously supported by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
