Taking Center Stage: Conflict and Collaboration in the Peopling of Massachusetts
|
|
To mark the 100th anniversary of the “Bread and Roses” strike in Lawrence, known for a high level of collaboration between various groups of immigrants, the 2012 Massachusetts history conference, will explore im/migration history. The conference, tentatively entitled Taking Center Stage: Conflict and Collaboration in the Peopling of Massachusetts, will give special attention to theatrical expression as a tool for historians. Wendy Lement and Derek Nelson of Theater Espresso have agreed to feature selections from and talk about their production American Tapestry: Immigrant Children of the Bread and Roses Strike as the keynote address. The conference is likely to be held at the College of the Holy Cross, Worcester, MA, on Monday June 11, 2012. We hope to offer a workshop on theater in history education, ranging from enactment to readings and theatre pieces.
