The Institute for the Humanities is excited to host a screening of the award-winning documentary film, Searching for Shaniqua. The film explores the politics of naming practices in the African American community. It recently won the HBO Best Documentary Award at the Martha's Vineyard African American Film Festival. The film's director, Phill Branch and its producer, Eleanor Earl, will be in attendance and will participate in a Q&A with the audience following the screening. Ms. Earl is an alumni of ODU's Humanities Masters' degree program.
