Ryan Wexler and Sylvia Ryerson in Conversation about the Introduction to Public Humanities Annual Fall Class
Welcome to the Public Humanities @ Yale monthly e-newsletter.
In our November issue, we invite you to listen to a conversation between American Studies 2nd year graduate student Sylvia Ryerson and Dean of Davenport Ryan Brasseaux about the "Introduction to Public Humanities" course, which Ryan is teaching this year for the 7th time. Sylvia took the course in fall, 2018, a member of the class that created the very successful final collaborative project, "Deep Roots," sharing stories behind some of New Haven's most beloved restaurants.
Events coming up in November and December are listed below. We very much look forward to seeing you there.
