# Event Details

- **Event Name**: 2026 Teachers Seminar - Riotous Assemblies: From Resistance to Revolution
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 09 Jul, 2026 at 05:00 pm – Sun, 12 Jul, 2026 at 12:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Hosted by Stratford Hall in partnership with Preservation Virginia from July 9–12, 2026, "Riotous Assemblies" will explore how enslaved, ordinary, and elite people contested imperial power.

Moving beyond simple narratives of the founders, this seminar examines the diverse mechanisms of popular dissent that shaped the path to independence—from boycotts and petitions to crowd actions, clandestine networks, and material sabotage. Participants will not only investigate the history of the 18th century but also discuss the continuing relevance of these tactics in free societies today.

Why Apply?

Broaden the Narrative: Investigate how resistance was forged across class and racial lines.

Place-Based Inquiry: Walk the landscape where the Lees and the enslaved community navigated the shifting tides of revolution. Travel-study destination TBA.

Pedagogy Focus: Work with master teachers to translate these complex themes of power and protest into dynamic classroom lessons.

What does the Seminar include? Onsite presentations from leading scholars, an immersive travel-study excursion (stay tuned for location announcement!), and dedicated K–12 workshops translating historical insights into dynamic classroom lessons.

What’s covered? Meals, excursion costs, and single-room accommodations onsite at Stratford Hall are provided at no charge. We do request a $50 nonrefundable deposit to reserve your space upon acceptance to the Seminar.
