A Dream Interrupted:
Remembering life on a pre-incarceration
Japanese-American Farmstead
|
On Friday, May 30th, join the History Center of SLO County for our next Carnegie Chat, A Dream Interrupted with Prof. Terry Jones and a team of Cal Poly social sciences students to discuss their work on their newly-installed exhibit.
Dr. Jones and his team conducted an archaeological dig on a local farmstead that had been the home of a Japanese-American family prior to their internment during World War II. Undertaken with the approval and cooperation of the family's descendants, this exhibit is an incredible opportunity to see early 20th century San Luis Obispo County up close. |
Dr. Jones is a Professor of Anthropology at Cal Poly. His fields of expertise include archaeology, North American prehistory, hunter-gatherer ecology, and maritime adaptations with California as his area of focus. His team of Cal Poly students was made up of Jesse Horsley, Annie Pagel, Lacey May, Emma Bowman, Rachel Burgess, and Collin Marfa.
