2024 Black Studies Timeline Project

How do you introduce something that already exists?

Or rather, how do you reintroduce something without painting over the past? Charged with organizing a “reintroduction” of Black Studies to Providence College, Dr. Wheeler worked with Diane, Spencer, and Christina to do just that – introduce the “new” department to campus and, at the same time, respect and honor those that came before. Diane, Spencer, and Christina, guided by Dr. Wheeler, decided to do a living timeline project – gathering research, conducting alumni interviews, and designing visual components presented last semester, but with the goal of continuously adding to the story of Black Studies on PC campus.
