Announcing Our 12/6 Workshop: The Built Environment as Source in Teaching History
Do you ever think of your surroundings as historical sources? Do you see a mural at a post office or even the exterior of your schools and ask how they came to be created? Do you ever wonder about the nature of the debates involved in the erection of a town monument?
In our next workshop, these questions and more will be addressed as we look at the built environment as a source for teaching history. We will talk about the changing economic landscape of the New South and the contestations over landscapes and memorials. We will also take a walking tour of the UNC campus.
UNC's Dr. James Leloudis will lead us through this workshop. He is an associate professor of History, Associate Dean for Honors, and is the Director of the James M. Johnston Center for Undergraduate Excellence. He specializes in the Modern South with an emphasis on education, race, and labor.
This next workshop will be on Saturday, December 6th from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the UNC campus. It will be held in the James M. Johnston Center for Undergraduate Excellence in Graham Memorial, Kresge Foundation Common Room GM-RM 039. Registration begins at 9:30 a.m.
This workshop is free to the public. Continental breakfast and lunch will be provided. Attendees can receive 0.5 CEUs. Parking will be available in two lots on the UNC campus; more information will be provided closer to the date of the event.
