Engaged Scholar Q&A: Hasan Kwame Jeffries
|
|

October's Engaged Scholar Q&A is with Hasan Kwame Jeffries, associate professor of history: "History is more than dates and names. It is the study of the human experience. I engage the community to help people understand the past, so that they can make sense of the present, and have the knowledge they need to build a more equal, just, and democratic society in the future."
