Announcing Our 12/1 Workshop: How to Teach Religion in the History Classroom
PHE's next workshop will tackle "How to Teach Religion in the History Classroom" on Saturday, December 1st. It will be led by Dr. Laurie Maffly-Kipp. Dr. Maffly-Kipp will talk about analytical frameworks and categorizations as teaching strategies, and she will use those strategies on two case studies. She is an associate professor of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She currently teaches courses on the African American and Mormon religious experiences in modern America.
The workshop will be held at the Carolina Center for Educational Excellence in Chapel Hill and will begin at 10 am and end at 3 pm. Continental breakfast and a full lunch will be provided. Each participant will earn .5 Continuing Education Units. There is no cost for this program.

Don't forget about our travel grants! The Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation graciously provides a small stipend to interested teachers who live more than 100 miles from Chapel Hill to attend workshops. This stipend will be paid at the end of the academic year 2007-08.
