AOK Library & Gallery Spotlight! Guest Instructor Series will be hosting a public symposium throughout the Fall 2021 semester examining the topic of radicalism. The aim of the symposium is not to declare a definitive definition of radicalism but to offer a regional and historical context to the term. The inspiration for the theme is the Library’s Special Collections’ Radical Literature and Alternative Press Center collections.  

Exact dates for the lectures and how to register can be found on the flier below and link. Guest speakers will include UMBC scholars and experts, UMBC undergraduate CoLab students, and Baltimore-area individuals and groups involved in activism, radical literature, and the study of radical movements in Baltimore.

The Symposium is co-sponsored by the American Studies Department, History Department, Media and Communication Studies Department, and Undergraduate Research and Prestigious Scholarships.
