Imagining the Future through the Solitude-Fraction Site on the Campus of Virginia Tech: An Unfinished Conversation on a Contested Space

Thursday, February 17, 2022 at 5:30pm 

Panelists Kerri Mosely-Hobbs, Ed.D.,  founder and executive director of the More Than a Fraction Foundation, Victoria Ferguson, member of the Monacan Indian Nation and director/docent for the Solitude-Fraction Site, OID, and Emily Satterwhite, Ph.D., associate professor of Appalachian studies, Virginia Tech Department of Religion and Culture, will examine the long and painful history of the two oldest standing structures on Virginia Tech’s Blacksburg campus from previously unrepresented perspectives and reveal exciting new plans to reimagine the structures’ future. 

Then looking forward to the Virginia Tech sesquicentennial program “1872 Forward: Celebrating Virginia Tech”, the group will discuss the impact that generational trauma has on current patient health and societal health outcomes.
