The Nov. 9th edition of the University of Baltimore class, “Divided Baltimore: How Did We Get Here? Where Do We Go?,” to be held beginning at 5:30 p.m. in the Town Hall in UB’s H. Mebane Turner Learning Commons, 1415 Maryland Ave., will feature guest lecturers focused on the Role of Culture, the Arts and Social Entrepreneurship. The class is free and open to the public. Seating is limited, and only students formally enrolled in the course are guaranteed a seat.
Guest lecturers and their topics include:
*Derick Ebert—Baltimore’s poet laureate and UB Divided Baltimore student–will read some of his work in partnership with Kenneth Morrison of Dew More
*Sheila Gaskins will discuss “What Happens to a Dream Deferred? – Challenging the Negative Effects of Structural Racism in the Arts Community.”
*JC Weiss, UB faculty member, will address “What Works, in Baltimore, and Why”
Following about an hour of discussion from these lecturers, a question and answer session will be offered. After that, the course will break out into its normal undergraduate and graduate sections for further discussion.
Is there a reading list that went along with the Divided Baltimore Class or a list of recommended readings? If there is, I’d like to receive it.
