Humans are inherently storytelling creatures. 这是我们的叠句. This is how we know who we are–as individuals, as communities, as a nation, as a world.

Reclaiming lost and white-washed stories of marginalized people is not only 香农卡特's academic aim but her life passion. When her family moved from California to Greenville, 70年代末的德州, she witnessed an innocent Black man go to prison for a crime he didn't commit. This event inspired her to dig deeper into race as an arbitrary categorization for sorting justice. Carter's career has lead to numerous projects which recover and circulate these narratives, including her current work “The New-Deal Era Federal Writers' Project: History, 成就, 文化遗产,” a four-week institute she's co-directing with Deborah Mutnick to be held in Brooklyn, NY, Summer 2021 (funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities).

What has been your favorite course to teach?
It is impossible to pick just one favorite, 然而, I'm inspired by the brilliant work happening in ENG 585: Texas Counterstories for Black Liberation. 在本课程中, we're harnessing the power of (counter)stories to (re)write America's collective story, a narrative that has (mis)represented, 抹去, silenced and ignored far too many for far too long. 从历史上看, representations of race in the dominant narratives about our nation have systematically robbed Black, 土著, and 人 of Color (BIPOC) of their humanity. 是时候. 足够的. I know you're with me on this. 我知道你懂的.
Tell us about an academic project you are working on or recently 完成.
Deborah Mutnick (LIU Brooklyn) and I were awarded a National Endowment for the Humanities grant to codirect a 4-week summer institute scheduled for July of 2021 at the LIU Brooklyn campus. 在学习期间， The New Deal Era's Federal Writers' Project: History, Politics, and Legacy, 25 college and university faculty will study the Federal Writers' Project (FWP), an archive of more than 2,000 interviews with the last generation of formerly enslaved Americans, 移民, 工人, 女性, and men to chronicle the Great Depression. These interviews were conducted as part of FDR's Works Progress Administration as part of the New Deal during the Great Depression and fought to uncover the stories of everyday people. We are thrilled to bring the history and achievements of the FWP to new audiences, aided by a remarkable group of historians, 文学评论家, and scholars of writing.

Part 2 of the Spooky Stories Series On the farthest east side of campus stands David Talbot Hall. It’s a fairly plain-looking building from the outside: red brick, 矩形, uniform windows neatly lined up on all four sides. Inside, 然而, is a different story. The building is adorned with pillars, large winding staircases […]
