Rewriting America, Reconsidering the Federal Writer's Project 80 Years Later: A Symposium

Friday, June 16, 2023
9:00 am - 5:30 pm EDT
James Madison Building - Mumford Room (LM649)
101 Independence Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20540

The American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress will host this free public symposium bringing together the contemporary perspectives of public scholars, documentary producers, and curators on the legacy of the Federal Writers? Project (1935-39). The event focuses attention on the ways in which the Library?s extraordinary archival collection of FWP materials continues to inform and inspire public outreach and interdisciplinary scholarship in fields ranging from public and oral history to journalism to ethnic studies and folklore. The symposium is anchored by contributing authors to the recently published book Rewriting America: New Essays on the Federal Writers? Project.
It will feature a rich array of scholarship on topics including new readings of the narratives of formerly enslaved African Americans, the practice and production of oral history podcasts in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, and emergent research into the once-obscured work of Asian American and Mexican American writers in the FWP. Prominent historians Catherine Stewart, Jerrold Hirsch, and John Edgar Tidwell will participate in roundtable discussions alongside emerging scholars, LC curators, policy makers, and media producers. Renowned oral historian Alessandro Portelli will travel from Italy to deliver the keynote address.
If you can't make it to the symposium, the keynote address will be livestreamed on Zoom--find out how to register at the link!
Find a full description of the symposium, biographies of the speakers, and a link to registration, all at the link.
This program is made possible with the generous support of the American Folklore Society, the Oral History Association, and City University of New York.
