Aaron Bonsu: “T he Political Road to the Games: Sport, Transportation, and the Shaping o f Greater Boston’s Urban Landscape”

In Boston, sport team owners, residential groups, and civic leaders all vie to influence the future de velopment of sport venues in the Massachusetts capital. Through a brief analysis of a key theme within my dissertation, transportation, I demons trate how these interest groups use political action in their contestati on of sport venues in Greater Boston. This overlap of politics, transpor tation, and venue construction helps highlight how residents, through sp ort, shape the landscape of their communities.

Edwin Dartey: “Deco lonizing Language Planning: Insights from Afro-Communitarian Thought and Fanon’s Theorization of the Colonial Encounter”

In this presentat ion, I will discuss a two-tier theoretical framework that challenges mon olingual and colonial assumptions in language planning, offering an incl usive and situated approach to Global Southern contexts. Drawing on Afro -communitarian philosophies of personhood and Frantz Fanon’s theorizatio n of the colonial encounter, I interrogate the entangled histories of ra ce, power, and colonialism that shape how multilingualism is negotiated and how language policies are formulated in African contexts.

Ashl eigh McDonald, Center and Institutes Fellow: “A Strange Paradox of Manne quins”: Institutional(ized) Memory in the Glore Psychiatric Museum

As the biggest of the three small museums dedicated to the history of p sychiatry, the Glore Psychiatric Museum has a large impact on how instit utionalization is remembered. This is a selective remembering though, on e that emphasizes a narrative of good intentions while often forgetting the human cost and consequences of psychiatric progress. This analysis f ocuses on how Glore makes some memories visible and sayable while simult aneously institutionalizing others.
