Some upcoming workshops/professional development
One-Day Seminars
Presented by Teaching American History
You are invited to attend a free seminar offered by Teaching American History for a discussion-based exploration of the story of America as it was written by those who lived it.
Here’s what we’ll be talking about in the coming weeks…We will be holding the following seminars online.
We hope you’ll be able to join us:
Voices of Democracy: Race, Gender and Equality - September 18, 2021, 8:45 AM CT - 12:30 PM CT - Held Online
From the 17th century on, the realities of racial and gender inequality have been at odds with America’s self-understanding as a “new world” of opportunity for all. We will focus on key moments in the struggle to secure the natural rights of liberty and equality for all Americans.
The American Revolution - October 9, 2021, 8:45 AM CT - 12:30 PM CT - Held Online
This three-session seminar utilizes primary source documents to examine the political principles of the American Revolution. We will pay close attention to the colonists’ arguments for resisting several Parliamentary acts after the French and Indian War, including (among others) the Stamp Act, the Declaratory Act, and the Coercive Acts. Particular emphasis will be paid to notions of political and natural rights, popular sovereignty, modes of representation, consent, and the right of revolution. We will try to understand the colonists’ eventual arguments for independence as well as their notions about the fundamental ends, or purposes, of the American Revolution.
The Roaring 20s - December 11, 2021, 8:45 AM CT - 12:30 PM CT - Held Online
What put the ‘roar’ in the Roaring 20’s and what did that mean for politics, policy, the economy and society of America? This seminar will explore those questions and perspectives with documents of the time.
