Abstract
Author of the book by the same name (Left Coast Press 2013), Teresa Bergman explores why we erect monuments to national events and figures—or why we think we do. During this week’s discussion, Teresa will share research that examined the patriotic narratives of some of our most beloved memorials and how this narrative is changing and what this means to our sense of national identity.
