Join us for a two-day workshop: Teaching Race and Membership in American History. Drawing from Facing History and Ourselves’s case study Race and Membership in American History: The Eugenics Movement, along with new resources and approaches developed over the past three years, we will explore how ideas about race became institutionalized and shaped social policies in areas such as immigration, education, reproductive rights, housing and segregation. We will also analyze the various ways people and institutions supported or challenged these ideas and policies.This workshop will be academically focused, highly interactive, and include opportunities to be in conversation with other educators. Participants will come away with strategies, historical resources, and planning materials to bring a deeper examination of this history and to equip students to engage in critical conversations around current events in their classrooms. All materials will be provided in print and digital formats.
This event will be hosted in-person at John Muir Middle School from 9:30 am - 3:00 pm PT each day.
