Mellon Foundation, provided to Kalamazoo College in 2022, will culminate this week with community partners from New Orleans, San Diego, St. Louis, Kalamazoo and more gathering at the College to share the successes of the <a href=\"https:\/\/hill.kzoo.edu\/\">Humanities Integrated Locational Learning (HILL) project<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hill.kzoo.edu\/hill-conference\/\">The Learning in\/from Place and Community Conference<\/a> will take place Friday\u2013Sunday, October 24\u201326. By bridging academic inquiry with local partnership, place-based practice, and regional perspectives, the conference offers a model for how liberal arts institutions can engage meaningfully with broad social themes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAfter four years of our students learning from community partners in each of these sites, we are excited to host many of them in Kalamazoo,\u201d Associate Professor of Sociology Francisco Villegas said. \u201cHere, they will be able to meet one another, connect with people doing similar work in Kalamazoo and across Michigan, and share lessons from their work. Each organization has substantial knowledge that is grounded in their geographic location and we hope the conference will further collaborations that will support our respective communities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The public is invited. No registration is necessary. Opening remarks will begin at 4:30 p.m. Friday in Dewing Hall, room 103, with a screening of the film <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fPlsNaItDoc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>BODEWADMI NDAW<\/em><\/a>. A discussion will follow with filmmaker Davis Henderson \u201925, artist Jason Wesaw of the Pokegon band of the Potawatomi tribe, and leaders from local Indigenous communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saturday\u2019s highlights include a plenary address by Jamala Rogers, the executive director of the <a href=\"https:\/\/obs-stl.org\/\">Organization for Black Struggle<\/a>, at 10 a.m. at the Arcus Center for Social Justice Leadership. Additional panels throughout the day will cover history and preservation, local priorities and cultivating community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moderators on Saturday will include K faculty members Christina Carroll, associate professor of history; Espelencia Baptiste, associate professor of anthropology; and Marquise Griffin, associate director of the Mary Jane Underwood Stryker Center for Civic Engagement.

A plenary with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peopleforpublicart.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">People for Public Art<\/a> Executive Director Monica Rose Kelly will follow along with a place-based art workshop featuring Kelly and Destine Price of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thisisfire.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"broken_link\">FIRE Arts Collaborative<\/a> in Kalamazoo. The conference concludes with closing remarks at 12:30 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2022, the Mellon grant helped the College\u2019s HILL project organizers design student coursework rooted in K\u2019s commitment to experiential learning and social justice. The program addressed issues such as racism, border policing, economic inequities, homelessness and global warming, while examining history, how humans share land, and the dislocations that bring people to a communal space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project was envisioned by Villegas, Associate Professor of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/programs\/english\/?id=12&amp;type=1\">English<\/a> Shanna Salinas and Professor Emeritus of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/programs\/english\/?id=12&amp;type=1\">English<\/a> Bruce Mills. They invited K faculty to build curricula that reflected how power structures produce destabilizing dynamics and the collective responses of affected communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students then had opportunities\u2014locally and at sites across the country\u2014to immerse themselves in heritage, culture, landscapes and community experiences through course materials, collaborative faculty-student research, community engagement, the development of program assessments and the sharing of oral histories tied to partnering projects and organizations. The Beyond Kalamazoo course clusters focused on themes of location and dislocation, emphasizing place-based learning through an integrated travel component in New Orleans, St. Louis or San Diego. The Within Kalamazoo cluster emphasized social issues in the Kalamazoo community. A digital humanities hub published, archived and assessed outcomes in coursework and partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Learning in\/from Place and Community Conference aims to show how the HILL project has deepened understanding of the humanities\u2019 relevance to society by advancing innovative responses to interconnected issues through students and faculty.
