Fettuccine Forum

What Did Archaeology at the Erma Hayman House Tell Boise, Idaho?  

Feat. William White III

Originally from Boise, Dr. William White III, author of the forthcoming book, Segregation Made them Neighbors: An Archaeology of Racialization in Boise, Idaho, is an Assistant Professor in the Anthropology Department at the University of California, Berkeley. Dr. White led an archaeological dig in Boise’s River Street Neighborhood in 2015. In his talk, he discusses the excavation, and explores how social theory, archaeology, and historic preservation collaborations can impact local communities while also addressing painful histories.  

From the Margins to the Center of History in Idaho and the West

The 2022-2023 Fettuccine Forum, a four-event series, features speakers who will offer perspectives on Black, Indigenous, LGBTQ+, and Asian American histories, activism, and community building in Idaho and the West. These stories, experiences, and narratives are often underrepresented in traditional histories.

These free, hour-long events take place at 6 p.m. (MT) in-person in the Maryanne Jordan Council Chambers at Boise City Hall and virtually over ZOOM with automated live subtitles. Pre-registration is required to join virtually. Cash bar available for in-person guests. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. Support from the Office of the Mayor, Boise State Public Radio, and the Department of History at Boise State University all make the Forum possible.
