Building Bridges, Creating Futures: Community-led Dialogue and Action
Join us in Building Bridges through community collaborations in East Harlem.
This initiative brings together East Harlem and Hunter College leaders, organizers, scholars, and students to strengthen partnerships and shape what collaboration for justice can look like in this moment.
The initiative launched with a gathering on April 30, 2025, that sought to create a space for deep listening, storytelling, and community-driven strategy. Humanities Action Lab partners from Chicago, North Carolina, and Milwaukee joined Hunter College faculty and justice-impacted leaders in East Harlem at Hunter College’s Silberman School of Social Work to create pathways for justice and transformation in East Harlem, and beyond.
Building Bridges grew out of President Nancy Cantor’s vision for making Hunter College an anchor institution, and was developed by a group of Hunter faculty and East Harlem community leaders convened by Mayra Lopez-Humphreys of the Silberman School of Social Work, and Humanities Action Lab staff.
Stay tuned for a fall gathering to continue planning!
