On Monday, September 19th, Chanel Miller will be joining our New Student Convocation for a virtual conversation about her art and writing. This is the first time in the history of the Common Text Program that we've had an author join during this kick-off event for new students!
Migrants, refugees, and deportees live through harrowing situations, yet their personal stories are often ignored. While politicians and commentators mischaracterize and demonize, herald border crises, and speculate about who people are and how they live, the actual memories of migrants are rarely shared. In the tradition of oral storytelling, Voices of the Border reproduces the stories migrants have told and in doing so offers a window onto both individual and shared experiences of crossing the US–Mexico border.
Additional info: This event is open only to SU faculty, staff, and students. Your regular Seattle U login will give you access to the link above to register for the event. The event is free, but registrants will have the opportunity to donate to the Seattle U Black Student Union Endowed Scholarship Fund.
