SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EIHS Workshop: Re/Imagining Pre/Colonial Space: (Speculative) Mapping and Layered Methodologies
DESCRIPTION:Mapping\, though putatively about space\, reveals much more about subjectivity and power. To take one example\, British maps of 19th century Lagos Island produced by various imperial agents in the overlapping contexts of colonial expansion\, enslavement\, and war reflect a colonial agenda positing the urban center as blank space. In order to write a history of 19th century Lagos which centers its Indigenous and African inhabitants and their everyday experiences\, Ademide Adelusi-Adeluyi supplements such maps with an embodied “walking cartography” and oral histories of the colonized\, creating rich “speculative maps” of the city. Adelusi-Adeluyi’s scholarship grapples with central spatial-historical questions such as: What arguments do\, or might\, maps make? What revelations do illustrated\, oral\, spatial\, and other kinds of sources provide which the written record does not? How might speculative research methods fill gaps left by power asymmetries exposed in the archival record? What are possible ways to read indigenous history\, movements\, and knowledge in the physical environment? This panel is inspired by the possibilities that arise from such a “social and spatial reading” of “an incomplete and sometimes fragmentary archive\,” in the particular context of pre-colonial or colonial urban history broadly conceived\, including examples of “internal colonization”. \n\nThe Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies welcomes paper submissions from graduate students working on urban history\, architecture\, mapping or spatial studies\, digital humanities\, and/or embodied methodologies. We especially encourage scholarship which centers the perspectives of non-dominant historical actors in creative and critical ways.\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Foundations of Community Engagement
DESCRIPTION:Foundations of Community Engagement is an interactive workshop that introduces principles and practices of equitable\, ethical community engagement. Participants will develop a deeper understanding of what the term “community engagement” means\, as well as the many forms it might take - from research and course-based projects to philanthropy\, activism\, policy\, and direct service. Across all these forms of engagement\, participants will learn concepts and actions that promote equitable partnerships\, center community-defined priorities\, and disrupt entrenched power dynamics between universities and community members. Participants will also discuss real-world community engagement scenarios that ask them to apply what they’ve learned in the workshop to various situations.
