2020 began with COVID-19 and quarantine, and the year ended with more hashtags, this time for Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd. The hurt, anger, and frustration culminated in weeks of protests around the United States, including in the New Hanover County area. But that hurt and anger didn't begin in 2020; rather, it has origins going back centuries. Where does it come from, and how is it passed down from generation to generation?



During Healing Generational Trauma: A Community Arts Experience, we will seek to answer those questions through film, spoken word, movement, and workshops. This experience will begin in March and culminate in a half-day conference on Saturday, April 17.

Please join us for a culminating experience regarding generational trauma. Virtual events start now on Thursdays at 7:30pm leading up to a half day conference on April 17th. As always, all are welcome to join!

Mark your calendars for next Thursday! Dr. Maia Butler (English, Africana Studies, and GRSC) will be hosting a panel of co-authors and editors on elegiac traditions in the African diaspora via Zoom. All are welcome to join.

🥳Congratulations to the winner of CHHS’s Three-Minute Thesis Event: IMSRG mentee Bradley Caison! Bradley is a Public Health Studies major being mentored by Dr. Sabrina Cherry on work related to PrEP and HIV. He presented his research entitled “The Impacts of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis on Sexual Behavior” with the use of song as a vehicle for telling the story of his work.
Another big shoutout to mentees McKenzie Wierse and Jordan Dudley for presenting as well. You three make IMSRG proud!
