WHITEWATER
Back in 2018 and 2019, the Lands We Share interactive exhibit shared with many across Wisconsin the culturally diverse histories in farming statewide.
UW-Whitewater history professor James Levy, the director of the exhibit that ran as part of the Wisconsin Farms Oral History Project, said the initiative was centered around starting conversations.
When that came to an end, he started to wonder how the lessons from it could continue. So, Levy and others are creating Whose Land?, a podcast project that Levy said he is hoping to officially get started in June.
But he shifted the focus just a bit in what he called âphase 2.â The Lands We Share, as the title suggests, is more âwarm and fuzzy,â in a way. The common history leads people to see what is common between them, he said.
