Description

The physical spaces we encounter in our lives can be comforting or disquieting or sometimes both. Belmont has been a place of nurture and a place of enslavement; a place of inclusion and yet a place of segregation; a place of empowerment and of denial. As a place of education, it is where student’s eyes continue to be opened to a broader and expansive world. In this session, we will look at how the use and meanings of these buildings and this landscape have changed over time and influenced the University campus and its neighborhood.
