From the Fragments: Places and People in Colonized New England NEH Landmarks Summer Institute for K-12 Teachers Educational Course
July 7 – 11, 2025 or July 14 – 18, 2025
Location: University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH
Participant Stipend: $1300
UNH Certificate of Participation for 30 Contact Hours
Course Overview:
Over the course of the week, we will consider different communities living in this colonial frontier landscape, placing the experiences of Native Americans, indentured Scots, and enslaved Africans alongside narratives of English colonists who, while they eventually became the dominant population, were not a monolith in the 1600s. We will engage educators in developing modes of inquiry as they synthesize disciplinary content, taking action through curricular design and revisions customized for their students and contexts. Welcoming participants from many disciplines and grade levels provides opportunities for discourse vertically and horizontally, as well as within and across areas of expertise. The combination of expert lectures, immersive place-based field trips, a boat tour, hands-on time with cultural heritage materials, and online resources will help educators develop ways to share with their students a more equitable and inclusive early American story.
This Summer Institute has been made possible in part by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities: Democracy demands wisdom.
