Register Now: Artists and Scholars Changing Culture, Creating Change (Webinar)
Join Imagining America and a2ru for the first of a two-part webinar series answering what the term "culture change" means. In this first session, Imagining America Faculty Director Erica Kohl-Arenas and Imagining America National Advisory Board chair Kal Alston will share findings from their three-year research project designed to answer this question. Through case studies, over 100 national stakeholder interviews, and organizing institutes with leading thinkers and doers, the research revealed that the most lasting academic culture change is led by public, activist, and community-engaged artists, scholars, students, and community-based culture keepers themselves. The webinar will take place on Zoom Thursday, February 23 from 3:00-4:30pm Eastern/noon-1:30pm Pacific. Register for the webinar here
