Racial History of Williamstown: Environmental Studies students Kate Orringer & Morgan Dauk

Please join us for a presentation on the Racial History of Williamstown. Senior Environmental Studies Concentrators Katie Orringer and Morgan Dauk will present their semester-long work on racism in the built environment. This project was completed during Professor Gardner’s Environmental Planning Workshop (ENVI 302). 

The students focused their efforts on gaining an understanding of the racial and socioeconomic history of Williamstown through interviews, newspaper articles, and document analysis, and have created a report that outlines the history of four neighborhoods and highlights how that history has influenced and shaped the area.  They collaborated with DIRE Committee members Andrew Art and Bilal Ansari for this project. Bilal is also the Assistant Vice President for Campus Engagement in the Office of Institutional Diversity and Equity at Williams College. Based on this research, they have developed recommendations for town bylaws and plans that promote diversity and equity.

You are invited to a Zoom webinar.
