Graduate Students/Faculty of Color Dinner Series | 6:00-7:30 pm
Each Dinner Series allows for informal conversations between faculty and grad students over dinner. The theme allows for faculty to give ‘tips’ and other advice to graduate students through their own expertise or shared experience. This month’s dinner takes places in NYU’s Ally Week, so featured Professor Maria Montaya, Associate Professor of History, will share remarks on the importance of being an ally. In addition, she will speak to how students can think about the making and creation of history. Her work touches on thinking about who is telling the facts and how these stories are then told about the American past.
