Open to: High School Teachers and Librarians
Opportunity at a Glance: This residency offers educators shared time, space, and language to learn how to meaningfully explore the process of nation-building with students in a moment when debates about history and civics have become cultural flashpoints in classrooms across the United States.
Participants of this summer residency will do the following:
- Explore how nations are founded, historicized, contested, and repaired in discussions and workshops with curators, lecturers, and peers.
- Discover how ideas of citizenship, political systems, and national identities were built alongside constraints and contradictions—creation and erasure, inclusion and exclusion, aspiration and violence.
Key dates: Monday July 27 – Friday July 31
