Illume Speaker Series: Troubling Memorials: Disgraced Monuments in America - Erika Doss, PhD

Erika Doss, PhD
Knapp Chair of Liberal Arts 2018-19

From the toppling of a statue of King George III in New York in 1776 to the recent removal (or relocation) of statues and monuments that pay homage to the Confederacy, the United States has had a long history of “reckoning” with memorials, monuments, and other forms of public art that citizens deem oppressive, shameful, hateful, or simply “out of sync” with current values and ideals. This lecture traces how, why, and when Americans target public art, and the dilemmas of dissent and historical accountability in public culture. Erika Doss, PhD, is Professor of American Studies at the University of Notre Dame.
