WINTER 2023 NEWSLETTER

Dear members of the CSSH community,

I hope that this newsletter finds you well and that you are having a good end of the semester. For me, serving in the role of interim dean of CSSH this semester has been an absolute privilege. The best part has been gaining a broader perspective on the incredible research and learning that occur throughout our college every single day and to which you all contribute. There is so much creativity, generosity, effort, expertise, and collaboration that goes into realizing the Experiential Liberal Arts, I regret that in this newsletter we are only able to represent a fraction of what you all have done and accomplished this semester.

Nicole Aljoe, Professor of English and Africana Studies, has brought her research into the history of Black Londoners to the London Metropolitan Archives for an exhibit. Through meticulous research of the city's archival records, Professor Aljoe and her research team are bringing the complex lives of Black citizens back to life.
