Conference explores legacy of lynching: “Without Sanctuary,” the Emory-sponsored photography exhibit at the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site (President Bill Chace is seen speaking at the exhibit opening, above), has been a critically lauded addition to the conversation about lynching in the United States. In tandem with that exhibit, Emory will host “Lynching and Racial Violence in America: Histories and Legacies,” Oct. 3–6. More than 90 scholars will take part in the conference; two-time Pulitzer winner David Levering Lewis will give the Oct. 3 keynote.Click here or above for the full story and photos.

Emory Profile: Lori Teague: Lori Teague, assistant professor of dance, will have the honor of being the first Emory faculty member to premiere a dance piece in the soon-to-open Schwartz Center for Performing Arts. “Opening the Space” will debut in February. Teague is in the process of choreographing the work, but one of her influences is sure to be the trip she took to Italy this summer with Emory’s study abroad program. “The way I collect images through life experiences is that they just become a part of my body somehow, and I trust that they’ll find a way out,” she says.
