The Legacy of the Federal Writers’ Project in Virginia – A Conversation

May 1, 2024 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm EDT

Join us for a virtual conversation about the pioneers of the Federal Writers’ Project who uncovered Virginia history in the 1930s and what their work tells us now. The writers hired in the commonwealth as part of this New Deal effort challenged conventional academic approaches to American history and paved the way for new representations. They raised questions about what history is recorded and who gets to record it. Watch the recorded conversation here: https://youtu.be/PmUyIWlZWds?feature=shared

David Taylor, producer with the podcast series the People’s Recorder, will moderate the discussion with Julian Hayter, historian and associate professor of leadership studies at the University of Richmond; Kiki Petrosino, professor and director of creative writing at the University of Virginia and the author of White Blood: A Lyric of Virginia; and historian Gregg Kimball, retired director of public services and outreach at the Library of Virginia.
