We decided to reprise the basic elements of The September Project that we launched on Miami University's campus last year. <BR/><BR/>We will host an event for reflection and discussion on the patio/lawn of King Library on 09.11.2008 10:30am-2:30pm. This will be hosted by the Libraries and the students of <I>American Studies 301: Practice of American Studies: Public Stories</I>. Those students will also curate an exhibition in the lobby display cases in September. In October, the same students will hang an exhibition, <I>The Shadowbox Show. The Shadowbox Show</I> draws inspiration from the work of Joseph Cornell and Betye Saar to tell stories using found objects. The show, following in the tradition of AMS 301/Fall 2007, will explore what it means to be American in the contemporary U.S.<BR/><BR/>ally'all stop on by if you are in the Heartland.<BR/><BR/>-kelly quinn, American Studies, Miami University, Oxford Ohiokqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17237765676848929511noreply@blogger.com
