      <![CDATA[<strong>What cultures interacted within the Early Americas, and How did that produce different experiences?</strong>

<img alt="OHVsmall.jpg" src="http://community.learnnc.org/weblogs/partners/phe/OHVsmall.jpg" width="368" height="592" />

PHE's next workshop will address new themes and methodologies that recently have broadened the complexity of Early American history by understanding different colonial experience. It will incorporate the variety of indigenous perspectives about the New World, Europeans, and the colonial experience. It will also highlight Spanish colonization in what would become the United States, reminding us that the heritage of the United States has always been shaped by more than the English colonial experience. This focus on indigenous and Spanish perspectives will lead us to explore colonies outside the leading colonial paradigm found in New England, and we’ll also talk about the successes and failures of colonization within the Americas. The workshop will help place Early American history as one in which cross-cultural exchange and the variety of experiences and perspectives created a more exciting and complicated colonial landscape.

Participants can earn .5 CEUs. This workshop meets NC Standard Course of Study codes AP US History: 1.01, 1.02; American Indian Studies: 2.01, 2.02; AP World History: 4.01, 4.02, 4.03, 4.05; World History: 3.04, 3.05, 3.07; 8th Grade North Carolina History: Creation & Development of the State: 1.01, 1.02, 1.03, 10.4, 1.05, 1.07; 6th Grade: South America & Europe: 4.01, 7.01, 12.01.

<a href="http://history.unc.edu/faculty/duval.html">Kathleen DuVal</a>, associate professor of history at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, will lead this workshop. Her research and teaching focus on early America, particularly cross-cultural relations between Europeans and Indians in the North American borderlands that she explored in her first book, <em>The Native Ground: Indians and Colonists in the Heart of the Continent</em>. She also teaches classes on cultural identities and race in early America, Spanish borderlands, the American colonial experience, and early nation-making in America.  

The workshop is located at the <a href="http://www.unc.edu/ccee/">Carolina Center for Educational Excellence</a> (CCEE). The CCEE is located at 9201 Seawell School Road in Chapel Hill. There is ample parking at the CCEE.

      <![CDATA[<strong>What is the History of Human Rights in the Modern World?</strong>

<img alt="66612-004-0508DAB8.jpg" src="http://community.learnnc.org/weblogs/partners/phe/66612-004-0508DAB8.jpg" width="365" height="300" />

The public debate about human rights continues to evoke controversy in American society, despite the widely-held belief that individuals have certain inalienable rights that no government can or should take away. Recent arguments about the dangers of terrorism and the use of torture, indefinite detentions, targeted assassinations, secret surveillance, and the denial of habeas corpus have reappeared often in the American and international media. But how did the idea of human rights develop as a key theme in modern societies? How do we teach students about the history of this idea, the ways in which the meaning of “human rights” has evolved, and the arguments for limitations on the rights that human beings should possess? How does the history of “human rights” help us understand the contemporary world - from the eighteenth-century “age of revolutions” to the modern movements for civil rights and the current responses to terrorism?

This PHE workshop will examine these questions and provide materials for teaching about the meaning and expansion of human rights since the 18th century. It meets NC Course of Study Competency Goals: <em>World History</em> 1.01, 4.01, 4.05, 6.01, 6.02, 6.03, 6.06, 8.05, 8.06; <em>AP World History</em> 1.05, 5.04, 7.04; <em>AP European History</em> 2.04, 2.10, 3.03, 3.05, 3.06, 5.04, 6.04;<em> U.S. History</em> 1.02, 2.05, 7.03, 9.04, 9.05, 11.03, 12.06; <em>AP U.S. History</em> 4.04, 5.01, 15.01; <em>Civics and Economics</em> 3.06, 6.01, 10.02, 11.06; <em>AP U.S. Government</em> 1.02, 9.01, 9.02, 9.03, 9.04

This workshop will be led by PHE's own Dr. Lloyd Kramer.  Lloyd is a Professor of History at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He specializes in 19th century France with acute emphasis on cultural exchange, nationalism, and identity.  

It will be held at the <a href="http://www.unc.edu/ccee/">Carolina Center for Educational Excellence</a>, located off of Seawell School Road in Chapel Hill.  It will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and participants can earn .5 CEU credits.

There is ample parking at the facility. A light continental breakfast and full lunch will be provided to attendees. There is no cost for this workshop.

      <![CDATA[I'm pleased to announce PHE's upcoming workshop "<strong>Bringing the Natural Environment into Teaching History: Nature and Culture in the History of the Americas</strong>." This workshop will invite teachers to explore ways in which the natural environment and human cultures shape the landscapes in which they live. Through lectures and discussions we will highlight the integration of nature and culture in the historical processes that communities remember and share in their sense of identity. This workshop will allow us to design teaching methods that help our students heighten their awareness of nature as an historical actor, of the dialectical relations between nature and culture, and of the central place of the environment in the exercise of power. Illustrative examples will lead workshop participants to consider comparative borderlands and their environments in different geographical and political regions of the Americas.

<a href="http://history.unc.edu/faculty/cynthia-radding.html">Dr. Cynthia Radding</a> will lead this workshop. Dr. Radding is the Gussenhoven Distinguished Professor of Latin American Studies and Professor of <a href="http://history.unc.edu/">History</a> at the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill. She specializes in colonial borderlands, with an emphasis on the environment, culture, society, and indigenous peoples.  Her latest works, <em><a href="http://www.dukeupress.edu/cgibin/forwardsql/search.cgi?template0=nomatch.htm&template2=books/book_detail_page.htm&user_id=421333853&Bmain.Btitle_option=1&Bmain.Btitle=Wandering+Peoples&Bmain.Subtitle=%3A+Colonialism%2C+Ethnic+Spaces%2C+and+Ecological+Frontiers+in+Northwestern+Mexico%2C+1700-1850">Wandering Peoples</a></em> and <em><a href="http://www.dukeupress.edu/cgibin/forwardsql/search.cgi?template0=nomatch.htm&template2=books/book_detail_page.htm&user_id=421333853&Bmain.Btitle_option=1&Bmain.Btitle=Landscapes+of+Power+and+Identity&Bmain.Subtitle=%3A+Comparative+Histories+in+the+Sonoran+Desert+and+the+Forests+of+Amazonia+from+Colony+to+Republic">Landscapes of Power and Identity</a></em> explore these themes in a comparative perspective for Latin America and the United States.

The workshop will be held on <strong>Saturday, May 2nd from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.</strong> at the <a href="http://www.unc.edu/ccee/">Carolina Center for Educational Excellence</a> located off of Seawell School Road near Smith Middle School in Chapel Hill.

This workshop will take an in-depth look at the 20th century Middle East and its possibilities in the 21st century.  Dr. Khater and Dr. Shields will give us a broader, cultural look at a dynamic region that is too often associated with conflict.  By looking at the modern-nation state, global changes, and youth culture, this workshop will challenge both your and your students' understanding of the Middle East. 

Dr. Khater and Dr. Shields specialize in the modern Middle East.  <a href="http://history.chass.ncsu.edu/faculty_staff/pages/Khater.php">Dr. Khater</a> is an Associate Professor of History at North Carolina State University and director of NCSU's International Programs.  His most recent work, <em>Inventing Home</em>, takes a look at class and gender in Lebanon.  <a href="http://history.unc.edu/faculty/shields.html">Dr. Sheilds</a> is an Associate Professor and has been at the University of North Carolina History Department since 1993. In <em>Mosul before Iraq</em>, she studies economic and social changes in 19th century Mosul.

The workshop will be held on Saturday, January 31st from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the <a href="http://www.unc.edu/ccee/">Carolina Center for Educational Excellence</a> located off of Seawell School Road near Smith Middle School in Chapel Hill. There is ample parking at this facility. Click <a href="http://www.unc.edu/ccee/directions/">here</a> for directions.

      <![CDATA[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.

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.

To register for this workshop, please respond by December 1st to <a href="mailto:phe@unc.edu">phe@unc.edu</a>.  Please let your colleagues know about it; <a href="http://community.learnnc.org/weblogs/partners/phe/PHE_December%20Workshop_Flyer_Final.pdf">download our flyer</a> and email it to them.

      <![CDATA[I am excited to announce our upcoming workshop "Using Film to Teach Modern World History: From Colonialism and the Cold War to Today." Dr. <a href="http://history.unc.edu/faculty/reid.html">Donald Reid</a>, Professor of History at the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill, will guide us. He will help us understand why film is a valuable pedagogical tool and what questions we and our students should ask of the medium to understand modern world history. We'll also watch film clips so we can learn as a group how to evaluate film and teach these skills to our students.

The free workshop will be on Saturday, April 12, 2008, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. It will be on the UNC-Chapel Hill campus in the Peabody/School of Education Building. Participants will receive .5 continuing education unit hours, and this workshop meets standard course of study goals in World History, AP World History, AP European History, and American History.  A continental breakfast and full lunch will be provided.

To register for this workshop, please RSVP to <a href="mailto:phe@unc.edu">phe@unc.edu</a> by Monday, April 7th. Please provide me with your name, school/district, and subject you teach, if you need CEUs, and your meal preference
(turkey, chicken, or vegetarian option).

Please pass <a href="http://community.learnnc.org/weblogs/partners/phe/PHE%20Flyer%20for%20April%202008_%20Film%20and%20World%20History.pdf">our flyer announcing our program</a> to your colleagues and friends.

Thanks so much for letting me share this news with you, and I hope to see you in April!]]>

      <![CDATA[What's School Got to Do with It?

At a time when unequal educational outcomes get attributed to deficiencies in black culture, James D. Anderson enlists history to call these claims into question.  On February 21, 2008, he will deliver the African American History Month Lecture entitled, “No Sacrifice Is Too Great:  The Value of Education in the African American Experience.”

A leading scholar on black education and the Gutsgell Professor of the History of Education at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, Anderson broadens  the tapestry of American history with his analysis of the role education has played in African American life from slavery to the twenty-first century.  He examines the diverse efforts African Americans have made to create and sustain educational institutions.  From this vantage point, Anderson brings a thoughtful, alternative perspective to contemporary issues on education. 

We hope that you can join us for a thought-provoking discussion.  It will be on Thursday February 21, 2008, at 7 p.m. at the Pleasants Family Assembly Room in Wilson Library on the UNC-Chapel Hill campus. A public reception and book signing will follow the lecture.  Please mark the date on your calendars. 

For more information, please call 919-962-9825 or email rwhitfie@email.unc.edu.
