Clements Library (909 East University) Description: Refreshments to follow. Sponsored by OVPR, Program in American Culture, Michigan Law Program in Race, Law & History Dr. Rabinowitz is a principal of the American History Workshop. Since founding the Workshop in 1980, he has led creative teams of scholars, researchers, curators, designers, media producers, educators, and museum planners in more than 540 successful and innovative projects. Dr. Rabinowitz's lecture subject “Curating the Silence,” explores how historians, and particularly public historians, confront the dilemma that evidences of African American lives, voices, and perspectives are seldom available in the documentary record. Public historians and artists can rely upon investigative methodologies not conventionally used in scholarly research and writing.
