"The Public Humanities Tomorrow: Working with
School Communities“
Date: Thursday, December 10, 2020
Time: 9:30 – 11 a.m. EST
Registration required – available here
Public humanities’ emphasis on collaboration, storytelling, and community
encourages students to recognize their own knowledge and experiences as
valuable in a collective process of inquiry. This challenges traditionally
hierarchical power structures in the classroom and empowers students to become
more active leaders and learners. The members of this panel have all worked
with K-12 students and teachers in projects designed to expand public
engagement with the humanities. These collaborative partnerships between
post-secondary institutions and public schools enrich K-12 education by making
available unique archival and primary materials, highlighting the importance of
regional histories to student learning, and emphasizing the role that students’
own experiences can play in making education meaningful.
Panelists:
Jason Cohen, Berea College
Patrick Oray, Bard Early College High School
Mary Rizzo, Rutgers University – Newark
Khadijah Costley White, Rutgers University – New Brunswick
Chair:
Denise Meringolo, University of Maryland Baltimore
County
