2019 is a landmark year at Bowdoin College, commemorating the 50th Anniversary of Africana Studies, the African American Society, and the John Brown Russwurm African American Center. This commemoration reflects a complicated history of race and race relations at the College, which long predates John Brown Russwurm’s arrival to campus. For this project, you will draw on the themes of the course to consider the legacy of race and racism at Bowdoin College.
Under consultation with the professor and research librarian Beth Hoppe, you will design a research project that will use the data you have collected to write two different papers. The first paper will be a reflection essay geared toward a general audience that will become part of a class website that we will put together in honor of the 50th Anniversary Celebrations. The second paper will be an extensive 8 to 10-page research paper geared toward an academic audience.
