New Orleans and the Wider World This New Orleans-themed experimental session, a hybrid panel, roundtable, film screening, and teaching session, examines the famed African explorer Henry Morton Stanley s controversial 1859 sojourn in the Crescent City. In addition to scholarly presentations, the session will feature the results of a multi-year, multimedia public history research project at the University of New Orleans, involving collaboration between faculty and graduate/undergraduate students. A roundtable will introduce a documentary film segment and internet/digital resources. Audience members who pre-register (Contact: jmokhibe@uno.edu) may accompany the panel on a subsequent carriage tour of Stanley-related sites.
