Alaav (Hearth and Home), directed by Prabhash Chandra, is the story of Bhaveen Gossain, a 63-year-old son, taking care of Savitri, his ailing 95-year-old mother in their home in a quiet suburb of New Delhi, India. Bhaveen rarely steps out of his house as he is completely devoted to looking after his mother. The film is a dispassionate yet intimate portrayal of the bond between a mother and son along with the other people closely involved in Bhaveen’s life. Screening of the film will be followed by Q+A and discussion with the director. This event is co-sponsored by the Cinema and Media Studies Program and the Department of Art History and Archaeology.

This summer, the Frederick Douglass Center for Leadership Through the Humanities welcomed teachers and community leaders from across the region back to campus for the Maryland Humanities Summer Institute. This year's theme, "Dissent!," pushed educators to think about how Douglass's legacy of courageous thought and speech can shape classrooms today. During the day, participants participated in workshops led by University of Maryland faculty, K-12 educators and community leaders. They swapped ideas with colleagues and left with new tools for teaching the humanities.
