The University of Maine at Augusta and the University of Southern Maine are partnering to host “One sun rose on us today: Stories from Maine’s Long 20th Century,” a virtual half-day conference set for noon to 6:30 p.m. Friday, June 4, online via Zoom.
This conference is to include three panels Wabanakiscapes, 20th Maine Jewish Culture, and 20th Century Queer Maine concluding with a keynote by Monica Wood, award-winning author of “When We Were the Kennedys.”
The conference will explore some of the many peoples who have claimed Maine as their home, bringing together scholars from across the state to discuss aspects of Maine’s 20th century, which has received relatively little sustained critical attention to date. The panel discussions will seek to illuminate and articulate not only how we want to understand Maine’s past and present, but also how we want to configure our future.
