Seminar: Teaching the Civil War and the American West – A Study in Objects

July 13, 2015 @ 8:00 am - July 20, 2015 @ 5:00 pm

This program is offered in partnership with the UCLA Public History Initiative and the Huntington-USC Institute for California and the West. This seminar locates the Civil War in a history of conflict over how the American nation would expand, and who, within that expanding nation, might claim freedom, property, and citizenship.

Seminar participants will interact with noted scholars, engage in pedagogy sessions, and read and dialogue about the essays in Empire and Liberty: The Civil War and the West, which attendees will receive on the first day of the workshop. Participants will also collaborate and create CCSS aligned curriculum and will receive a binder that includes all of the sources reviewed in the workshops plus all of the lessons created by the workshop’s attendees. Finally, participants will have the opportunity to publish their lesson plan and have it screencasted on the National Center for History in the Schools’ website. UCLA Extension credits are available for this program.
