Diversifying the historical narrative
This initiative began during IU’s bicentennial celebratory period which took place from 2016 to 2020. Through research and advocacy, this program identifies women and underrepresented minorities in IU’s history and adds them to the historical narrative and the built environment.
Bridging the Visibility Gap Initiative accomplishes these goals through new scholarship, commissioned artwork, building and space names, historical markers, and other methods. Please contact uha@iu.edu with any questions about this initiative.
