This teach-in will give the community an opportunity to dive deeper into the summer research project of Amell Garrison '22. As a Pensby fellow, Amell's goal was to make the most accessible project they could, that illustrated the juxtapostion between global history and Bryn Mawr College history. Amell’s experience during the 2020 Strike is what inspired their summer project. The strike made Amell question why change is so slow moving at Bryn Mawr. After a summer of research, they were able to answer this question, by creating a comparative timeline that highlights the global social, political, and economic shifts that ultimately urged Bryn Mawr administration to foster change within the College. The timeline addresses the learning, accountability, and social shifts administration has yet to accomplish.
