(8/15) Research Justice stands in contrast to a colonial model of knowledge extraction – documenting grassroots information for university based archival collections, scholarly research, and mainstream audiences. #NCPH2020 #s49 #humanitiestruck Image of Colonial Model of OH/PH Practice: Knowledge Extraction. Big red arrow flowing from Grassroots Community that says “Collect” pointing to Academia, Classroom, Archives. Thinner arrows point from there to The Outside Audiences: Imagined NPR “Public” (podcasts, books, websites, exhibits) and Scholars (Conferences, Articles, Books). Lower right says, “Shout Out to Helen Lewis.” (9/15) Historical Society of Washington DC crafted an exhibit on the “official history” of the building that focused on the its preservation as an unqualified success. They also assisted with our project, providing images and information. #NCPH2020 #s49 #humanitiestruck Description: Image titled “Historical Society of Washington DC, exhibition of Carnegie Library” that traces the narrative arc of the “Official” History of the Carnegie Library. Red arrows signal the rise, decline, and rise again of the library from its construction, abandonment, and renovation.

(1/15) Community Engaged History in the Midst of Community Displacement.
The Humanities Truck exhibit “Downtown Displaced” evolved from a five-month long collaboration with Homeless Filmmakers Co-op (HFC) in Washington, DC. #NCPH2020 #s49 #humanitiestruck (2/15) The project embraced a model of research justice. HFC defined the topic, the research questions, and the project themes. Through workshops, they co-interpreted the research, co-created the exhibit, and solely authored a performance. #NCPH2020 #s49 #humanitiestruck
