Type of Event (for grouping events):
The Cooperative for the Humanities and Social Sciences series "Crises and Creating Social Change" examines the Work Progress Administration "back to work" programs for artists during the Great Depression, notably, the Federal Theatre Project and Federal Music Project. Join Professors of Theater Herman Farrell and Nancy Jones, Professor of History David Hamilton, Emily Moses from the Kentucky Arts Council, and Professor Emeritus of Musicology Ron Pen as they explore ways in which these programs could be models for our response to COVID and economic crises. This program is co-sponsored by the UK Appalachian Center.
The Appalachian Center hosted an Open House at the Center, Tuesday September 25th from 11:30AM-2:00PM. The Appalachian Center is located at 624 Maxwelton Ct., across from the law school. A short welcome from Associate Director, Dr. Kathryn Engle, was given at noon and a delicious catered lunch was provided by Mimi's Southern Style Cooking. This was a free event open to UK faculty, staff and students and to the Lexington and Appalachian communities at large. Many ideas and introductions took place and we started the Fall semester off with a bang!
