Join Dr. David Kenley of Elizabethtown College and Dr. Kirk Savage of University of Pittsburgh for a critical look at war memorials in Japan, Korea, China and the U.S. What are the messages these memorials want us to understand? Why are those messages being made and what is being left out? How does collective memory figure into the memorials? How can we teach our students to be more critical viewers of war memorials? Dr. Kenley's talk will be "Remembering and Forgetting: War Memorials in East Asia." Dr. Savage's talk will be on "Curating History: Civil War Commemoration and Social Justice."
