The spring 2013 semester saw a number of Department events of note:

In January and February, Professor Justin Behrend organized a series of college -ide events to mark the anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation.  The “Emancipation at 150” programs included a faculty roundtable (featuring Professor Behrend, Professor Cathy Adams, Professor Rose Marie Chierici from the Anthropology Department, and Professor Alice Rutkowski from the English Department) and a keynote address by Professor Steve Hahn from the University of Pennsylvania.  The College’s press release on the “Emancipation at 150” events is here.
