Lunch and Learn with Jorell Melendez-Badillo and Meghna Chaudhuri

 This talk will be based on Dr. Meléndez-Badillo's first book, The Lettered Barriada, and will be more of a Q&A conversation (Lunch & Learn) facilitated by Dr. Chaudhuri. The conversation will engage with questions such as: what went into making this book?; what does “doing history” mean?; what do you mean when you say “archives of power”?; how is your book using your historian toolbox but also pushing some of the traditional boundaries of the field of history? How do we grapple with the violence of the archives when doing a historical project?

Space is limited so please email Dr. Castañeda to RSVP at vacastaneda@davidson.edu.
