劳里Grobman

Dr. 劳里Grobman is a distinguished professor of English and women’s studies at 宾州州立银行. Grobman的教学, 研究, and service interests center on community-engaged scholarship and antiracist education. Grobman studies and teaches about the many ways language and writing work in the world, 不管是好是坏. 她, 她的学生, and numerous community partners focus on the power of dominant narratives, asking and answering such questions as who controls them, 谁被遗漏了，为什么, what are the consequences of these omissions and erasures, and how do we challenge dominant narratives and make way for alternatives.

走向这些终点, Grobman has facilitated student and community collaborations in her classes  for nearly two decades to produce local storytelling, 口述历史, and history projects that (re)write and intervene in dominant but distorted narratives of 阅读, 宾西法尼亚, 和它的人民. 她 and 她的学生 have partnered with numerous community organizations and individuals on these projects, 比如拉丁裔, 拉蒂娜, and Latinx activists and change-makers; Centro Hispano; the NAACP 阅读 branch; the former Central 宾西法尼亚 African American Museum (CPAAM); Olivet Boys and Girls Club; Star City Boxing; the We Are 阅读 dancers; and more.

The term “Not One More” represents the projects’ leaders hope that not one more child will be lost to violence and not one more youth will use violence to solve conflicts.

Grobman also facilitates a 社区故事 project, “Not One More: A Community’s Stories of Loss and Love,” to highlight the experiences of 阅读 and Muhlenberg, 宾西法尼亚, residents who have been impacted by violence in both direct and indirect ways. 通过讲故事, individuals impacted by violence may begin to heal, and their words and stories can impact the communities in which they live. These stories will be housed on a website and will be shared at four public events over two years.
