Special Collections Seminar Room (Main Library,1 West)
MSU Library’s Visiting Scholars program welcomes researchers at all levels to make use of our world-class collections related to (but not limited to) popular culture, comics, rare books, Africana, LGBTQ activism, Michigan writers, cookery and foodways, as well as both the radical left and right. Every summer, a cohort comes to the Library’s Special Collections Reading Room to conduct research and, toward the end of their time, presents on what they were able to discover in our collection and how it advances their scholarship. The presentations are an informal way to connect with scholars and their research at MSU Libraries. Yomi Ejikunle University of Louisville US-Nigeria Sporting Relations: A Transatlantic Politics of Race, Ethnicity and Pan-Africanism, 1954-1990 and MSU Africana collection
