Rene Marquez (MFA '93) to Present at Penn Humanities Symposium

How do ideas of center and periphery enter into research programs and disciplines? Can we study centers and peripheries without reproducing the structures of power our research is designed to reveal or critique? How might we teach about centers and peripheries while navigating these various methodological challenges? To confront these and other questions, this one-day symposium will bring together invited speakers with the Forum's Graduate Mellon Fellows including Tara Fadenrecht (MFA '13) and other Penn graduate students and faculty.
