SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:EIHS Symposium: Silences Broken: A Symposium in Honor of Michele Mitchell
DESCRIPTION:The Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies at the University of Michigan is pleased to host “Silences Broken: A Symposium in Honor of Michele Mitchell.” Mitchell is an associate professor of history at New York University and a former faculty member in the Department of History at the University of Michigan. Over the past twenty years since the publication of \"Righteous Propagation\" (2004)\, as well as the past twenty-five years since her landmark “Silences Broken\, Silences Kept\,” essay (Gender & History\, 1999)\, scholars have drawn on Mitchell’s work\, mentorship\, and intellectual generosity to produce their own cutting-edge scholarship.\n\nThis two-day symposium features four panels that consider Mitchell’s contributions to histories of African American politics\, gender and sexuality\, childhood and the family\, and African American and African diaspora studies. We hope you can join us as we return to these two foundational works to explore their historiographical\, methodological\, and epistemological impact.\n\nThursday\, March 27\n1014 Tisch Hall\n\n4:00-5:30 pm: Welcome and Plenary Panel\n     Nancy MacLean (Duke University)\n     Michele Mitchell (New York University)\n     Kidada Williams (Wayne State University)\n     N.D.B.
