Rutgers historian Howard Gillette (left), a founding director of MARCH, will deliver this year’s Fredric M. Miller Lecture on public history at the Campus Center of Rutgers-Camden on May 5, beginning at 5:30 p.m. Reflecting on a 40-year career in teaching and writing, Gillette will address the ways history can and should be employed as a central tool in renewing civil well-being and advancing social justice.
The Miller Lecture honors Fredric Miller, whose service to the archives profession and to public humanities created resources of enduring value for scholars and the public, especially in Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. Always an important event for the public history community, this year’s lecture will be followed by a reception marking Gillette’s retirement from the faculty at Rutgers-Camden.
