Open to: Social Studies and ELA Teachers
Opportunity at a Glance: This seminar explores the transformative decades between the end of the Civil War and the dawn of the twentieth century. Participants will join us as we consider how the United States emerged from a shattered slaveholding republic to become an urban-industrial powerhouse marked by both extraordinary opportunity and profound inequality. We will also draw on the most recent scholarship on Reconstruction and the Gilded Age to discuss how Americans debated the most fundamental questions of the time: the meaning of citizenship, labor, and equality. Led by Professor Allyson Hobbs (Stanford University).
