Justin Garrett Moore: Keeping and Shaping Our Places

Описание: The Planning Lecture

About the Lecture:
Justin Garrett Moore, FAICP, will share the work of the Mellon Foundation’s Humanities in Place program which supports a fuller exploration of communities and sites located in and connected historically to the US. Working with heritage and public spaces, museums and other institutions, and conveners of shared experiences—including digital, ephemeral, built, and landscape environments—Humanities in Place strives to expand the public expression of the histories that have made us and the values we hold. The program works across and within diverse communities, encouraging bold, innovative rethinking of past practice, as well as visionary new approaches for how to collectively understand, uplift, and celebrate more complete stories about who we are.
