This new occasional series gives NC State students a platform to share their work in progress, giving us a behind-the-scenes look at how their academics, research and creativity come together. In this inaugural program, Darrien Bailey, an NC State Masters of Art and Design graduate student, will discuss his ongoing project: The Change We Seek: Animated Oral Histories. In the wake of significant moments of racial injustice in America, scholars and artists are reimaging traditional educational tools that discuss racial topics. Bailey's work explores how historical materials, such as oral history, can better inform the public on issues of systemic racism and race.
