Bethany Collins: 2019–2020 Public Humanities Practitioner-in-Residence

Through support of the Justice, Equality and Community Grant, Bethany Collins is the 2019-2020 Public Humanities Practitioner-in-Residence at Davidson College. While many institutions continue to struggle with their past in regard to slavery and racism, particularly in the form of monuments and portraits, Davidson College is choosing to engage with the past. The recent creation of a Commission on Race and Slavery is an example of this engagement. Alongside the commission, the Galleries will commission  Bethany  Collins to create a new work of art specifically for Davidson College.
