Professor Kramer discusses “civic health” in The Well

In the most recent issue of The Well, Dr. Lloyd Kramer – History Professor and Director of Carolina Public Humanities – suggests that a thriving public life is as important for communities as physical health.

Interviewed by Scott Jared, Dr. Kramer discusses how he understands the current state of “civic health”, the historical lessons we can draw to help us develop a healthier society, and the role of the University in helping citizens participate in civic life.

You can read the full interview here.

Thanks for all your hard work in the History Department and Carolina Public Humanities, Dr. Kramer!

*Though the History Department uses the name Pauli Murray Hall for our building, on official maps you will find it as Hamilton Hall. Joseph Grégoire de Roulhac Hamilton’s intellectually dishonest historical and archival work promoted white supremacy. In contrast, Pauli Murray marshaled unassailable evidence and analysis in the service of racial and gender equality. In July 2020, all of the departments housed in the building agreed to adopt the name Pauli Murray Hall in place of Hamilton Hall. An official request with the Chancellor is pending.
