About the Conference: Aligning with the mission of the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship Program, the theme of this year鈥檚 MMUF Mid-Atlantic Regional Conference is 鈥淒ecolonizing Knowledge, Transforming Academia.鈥 While MMUF fellows are engaged in an array of research projects that are positioned within and across disciplinary fields, they are also transforming academia with their scholarship and with their lived experiences.
