Haunted by the ruptures of the world around us, the theme for this year’s Maryland Humanities Summer Institute is “Dissent!” Drawing on local and global histories and contemporary political movements, this institute will contend with questions such as, how do we empower people to speak in opposition? How do we understand dissent as both patriotic and insurgent, as lessons in respectful debate in civil society and unmanaged resistance? With keynote speaker Dr. Nancy Mirabal.

ASL interpretation available, breakfast and lunch provided, and giveaways. There is no cost to attend.
