Grants and Contracts Details
Description
As the project director, I shall be responsible for the initiation,.
development, and final implementation of this meaningful humanities
based project. Name: Doris Wilkinson
I have been most fortunate to~De able to bring the humanities to the
public with support from the Kentucky Humanities Council. Although
trained as a Sociologist, my background and experiences encompass an
area of humanities interests ~i1d emphases (Social Theory, Cultural
Sociology, Social History, Anthropology and Music (piano).) My first
exhibit received~virtually national attention on early African American
physicians in a southern community. It was displayed. at Harvard's Widener
Library and Countway Library Of Medicine. My second and most recent
on the African American barbershop was well received throughout the state
of Kentucky. Being able to engage in the Public humanities extends my
role as a teacher. Grants have also been received from other sources.
Please describe the intended audience for the project and your plans to promote your project; if applicable, list
specific groups who may be interested in attending and who are not listed on the cover. Also please include specifics about
how cretht for this program will be given to KHC.
The intended audience for this uniqt~e and fascinating project
ith an adult one in the universities in the state and in the broader
(more general) communities. All of my previous public humanities events
have reached large audiences in and outside the state. The Kentucky
Humanities Council is always acknowledged as not only the source of
funding when received but as supportive of the themes and directions
of my projects. I would not have been able to.have devised the various
public humanities activities that I have in the past without KHC support.
As in the past, this timely~project.will be promotedvia newspaper,
radio and possibly television announcements, flyers, and invitations
to historytd other teãchers:and~faculty in the state. The specific
groups that may be interested in this project include persons who recall
the U.S. political and cultural "climate" of 1968, university faculty
and students, social clubs with adults who were college students 40 years
ago, p &t~'ev&~1ã?~ti ct4!a~ it~M~r ~ sb&ifi~ p~j~j~
