INTRODUCING Inclusive Histories at Davidson Colleg

INTRODUCING Inclusive Histories at Davidson College (@inclusivehistoriesdc), managed by Dr. Rose Stremlau (@rosestremlau ) and Isabel Padalecki (‘22 • @smisabel_ )

(A brief) ORIGIN STORY: The project arose from Women and Gender in US to 1870 (HIS 306), a course in Fall 2019, and “originally initiated to interrogate how women have been left out of the historical master narrative of Davidson College.

The intent of this archival project has since expanded. This project is a collection of hidden histories, of stories that are not typically understood as integral to the history of Davidson College despite their incredible importance. We aim to question the foundational assumption presented in Davidson College’s official histories: that this institution was built by and for white men alone.”

We begin at the very beginning. A single sticky no

We begin at the very beginning. A single sticky note on a porous wall. Here we will document and discuss our understanding of the Davidson fabric, stories (yet) to be told at and about Davidson College. Over the next two years we will support and develop storytelling projects, arising from different departments and divisions across campus, co-created with various students, faculty, and staff, interrogating race, racism, and accountability at Davidson College. We have been adapting to new COVID-era challenges for the past five months. We have obtained enough stability to share outwardly. We currently support 10 active project proposals, some in motion now, others in the Spring semester. We begin here, detailing our current progress, grappling with new complex questions, welcoming your participation. • #thestoriesinitiative #davidsoncollege #sytbt
