Transy and Race
Transylvania University is one of the oldest institutions in the United States and often referred to as "historic." But what does that mean? What is Transylvania's "history" or, more aptly, what are its histories? And how do those narratives intersect with its actual past-specifically in terms of race? In the "Transy and Race" section, we will collaborate to address these questions in order to tell an honest history of Transy and its relation to race, racism, and historically underrepresented racial groups. Through the research process and in light of our discoveries, we will reflect on our own roles in Transylvania's ongoing, changing story.
