This program will bring diverse community members together for a hands-on immersive experience presenting guests with an opportunity to learn traditional cooking techniques and commonly consumed dishes originating from various rivers and their cultures around the globe. Following the food preparation and subsequent meal, guests will learn about the cultures and their relationship to the river through a faculty-led presentation and hands-on activity following the meal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ellie Markovitch<\/strong>, lecturer in the Department of Communication and Journalism, has received an MHC grant related to her ongoing \u201cFermentation Fridays\u201d project, which takes place in the UMaine Food Lab and involves developing recipes, facilitating cooking and storytelling workshops, and producing short videos. The Fermentation Fridays project engages with the local community, creating opportunities for skill sharing, the use of local food, and food rescue. At the core of Markovitch\u2019s work is an exploration of the aesthetic of the quotidian and hospitality as art and community building.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kara Peruccio<\/strong>, assistant professor in the Department of History and Women\u2019s, Gender and Sexuality Studies, was awarded an MHC grant for her project, \u201cUnder the Same Flag: Transnational Feminist Activism in the Interwar Period, 1919-39.\u201d The MHC will support Peruccio\u2019s travel to the American Historical Association\u2019s annual conference in San Francisco, for which she has organized a panel. Peruccio will be presenting a paper entitled \u201cUnflattering Portraits: Mediterranean Women and the International Alliance of Women, Berlin 1929,\u201d and will subsequently be traveling to give a talk on a related topic at Seattle University.<\/p>\n<p>Professor of history <strong>Liam Riordan<\/strong> has received an MHC faculty grant related to his project \u2018What We Know, What We Wish\u2019: Maine Statehood, Historical Commemoration, and the Urgency of Public History.\u201d \u201cWhat We Know\u201d is a co-edited interdisciplinary collection with nine chapters which grew out of the Maine Bicentennial and Statehood Conference, organized at UMaine in summer 2019. Pulitzer-Prize winning historians Alan Taylor and Laurel Thatcher Ulrich have written its foreword, and the volume is under contract with the University of Massachusetts Press. MHC funding will support the inclusion of a detailed two-page map to be included in the volume.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, a group proposal submitted by <strong>Michael Socolow<\/strong>, associate professor of Communication and Journalism and former MHC director, along with <strong>Amelia Couture Bue<\/strong> and <strong>Haley Schneider<\/strong>, both assistant professors of communication, was funded to invite the filmmakers behind the documentary \u201cEroding History\u201d to campus February 5-6, 2024, for programming connected to the observation of Black History Month. The film \u201cEroding History\u201d documents twin challenges facing the United States, and the world, in the twenty-first century: racism and climate change. \u201cEroding History\u201d tells the story of two historic Black communities on Deal Island Peninsula, on Maryland\u2019s Eastern Shore, and how sea level rise threatens the island and its residents.
