My Archive at University of Massachusetts – Amherst

At the launch event with Chancellor Kumble Subbaswamy

(November 2019)   I’m just back the University of Massachusetts – Amherst, where my archive will reside, managed by Special Collections and University Archives at the W.E.B. Du Bois Library. The recent week of activities for the archive’s launch offered the opportunity to engage the UMass community on subjects of special interest to me.

Here are some links from the week:

—A video of my conversation with journalist Charles Sennott about whistleblowing, co-sponsored by WGBH and UMass – Amherst.  (10/23/19)

—An article in the Boston Globe about the archive acquisition.  (9/24/19)

—A video of me discussing the collection.  (9/24/19)
