Decolonizing History – A Six-Month Event Series

Why are the histories of certain peoples and places prioritized over others? How do these historical erasures contribute to social injustice today? In this unique series, titled “Decolonizing History,” the Lepage Center seeks to advance the public interest by asking questions about how history is written, taught and understood. The series will challenge how historical knowledge is produced and offer diverse and inclusive ways to study and interpret the past.
