A team of emerging history professionals connected
to the WVU History Department recently collaborated to create an online tour of
West Virginia women. The interactive tour was designed for “IN.Exclusive,” a
new exhibit at Arts Monongahela designed to commemorate Women’s History Month
(celebrated during the month of March). The exhibit and interactive tour aim to
highlight contributions and accomplishments of women in West Virginia that may
have been overlooked in mainstream culture and historical interpretation
previously.
Dr. Joshua Arthurs recently produced
an edited volume that explores the complexities of lived experience under
Mussolini and promotes a framework for considering Fascist Italy in relation to
other totalitarian dictatorships like Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.
