Please join us at Rutgers-Camden on Thursday evening, May 5, as Rutgers historian Howard Gillette reflects on a 40-year career in teaching and writing. In a lecture titled “Between Justice and History,” Gillette, the immediate past director of MARCH, will address the ways history can and should be employed as a central tool in renewing civil well-being and advancing social justice. 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. To register, visit our registration page, which includes directions to the Campus Center at Rutgers-Camden.
The Fredric M. Miller Memorial Lecture, which is administered by MARCH, honors a leader in the archives profession and in public humanities whose work created resources of enduring value for scholars and the public, especially in Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. This year’s lecture also marks Howard Gillette’s retirement from the faculty at Rutgers-Camden.
