The Future of Our History

Critical Perspectives on Teaching and Researching Difficult Topics in Modern Times

Wednesday, October 29, 2025 ∣ 6:30–8:00 p.m.

109 Cuneo Hall, Lakeshore Campus

Hosted by the Department of History and LUC AAUP

In an era of renewed attacks on academic freedom and the politicization of knowledge, this event brings Loyola faculty, students, and community members together to reflect on how we teach and research topics like race, gender, class, and immigration with courage and care.

Featuring Leslie M. Harris (Northwestern), Lilia Fernández (UIC), and Katherine J. Parkin (Monmouth), with Kelly O’Connor (LUC) and moderator Tikia K. Hamilton, the discussion affirms our shared commitment to inquiry, inclusion, and the pursuit of truth.

Join us to learn, connect, and stand for academic freedom.
