Lunch & Learn w/LaShawnDa Pittman – Free/Public
April 10, 2024 @ 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm
Join LaShawnDa Pittman and Stephanie Smallwood for a conversation about Pittman’s latest book, her recent Hanauer appointment, and what else is in store for this American Ethnic Studies professor.
When she isn’t focusing on her digital humanities project, Real Black Grandmothers, or leading a mindfulness meditation class, Pittman teaches courses for the UW Honors Program. Some her recent courses include “Western Civilization” and “Global Public Policy and Interrogating the Influence of ‘Western Culture’ on Care.”
Her recent book, Grandmothering While Black, tells the stories of 74 grandmothers and great-grandmothers from Chicago and how they tackle the legal and social systems to provide care for their families.
Bring your lunch and friends and swing by the Honors suite for a fun and causal conversation between Honors Program Director Stephanie Smallwood and Hanauer Professor Pittman on April 10th, 12:30-1:30 p.m. in the Honors Library – Mary Gates 211.
All are welcome! RSVP HERE so we buy enough snacks.
