• Joshua Aiken, WUSTL Arts & Sciences B.A. (2014), Rhodes Scholar, and current Yale J.D./Ph.D. candidate ("The Climate of Cook Avenue:  Subjugation, not segregation, is the rule of law"); and 

• Sylvia Sukop, Director, WUSTL Summer Writers' Institute and German Dept. Ph.D. student ("Amplifying History:  Sonic violence from East St. Louis to Ferguson, and making silences speak"), will briefly present on their findings.
