Description
Social inequality is a taxing issue for many of the inhabitants in Milwaukee, particularly so for those within the Washington Park and Sherman Park communities. This research examines university involvement across various disciplines within the UWM system and how it integrates with established community countermeasures, such as local grassroots responses. Areas of focus within the University include art, dance, theatre, architecture, geography, and storytelling. The goal of the research is to document the interventions present within these disciplines in order to better understand how their unique interactions help to enrich the communities they serve. On a broad scale, the findings of this research illuminate how individual actors operate individually and cooperatively to address the social justice within Milwaukee.
