Join us for the Inclusive History Project Summit on Friday, April 4, 2025, which will bring together students, faculty, staff, alumni, and the public to explore histories of inclusion and exclusion at the University of Michigan.
At the Summit, engage in dialogue about the work of inclusive history; attend a hands-on archiving workshop; learn about research, engagement, and teaching taking place across the three campuses; and see student-led projects in a variety of forms. There will also be opportunities for you to share your stories about the University of Michigan.
The Inclusive History Project Summit is an annual event that will be hosted on a different campus each year. Join us for the summit at UM-Dearborn in 2025!
