The Public History Collective is a student-led group based in the history program at the CUNY Graduate Center. We are committed to bridging the worlds of academia and public history. We aim to increase graduate student participation in archives, museums, and other public history institutions and projects, and to use that experience to broaden the methods with which we teach and do academic work. AFTERLIVES: PLACE, MEMORY, STORY Students and practitioners of history are engaged in an act of reconstruction. What does it mean for places, objects, people, and stories to have afterlives? How do public historians tell stories that the historical record has traditionally overlooked? How can we restore lost histories? How does looking at the past through the lens of the present create an afterlife? What role do informal or nontraditional archives play in understanding the past? CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS The Public History Collective welcomes proposals of 500 words of less that engage with the theme of Afterlives. Presentations may address the questions indicated above or any additional topics relating to the act of historical interpretation in the public sphere. Submissions might include: - individual papers/presentations - complete panels - hour-long workshops - other nontraditional formats Abstracts and proposals due August 6, 2016 Please direct submissions and questions to CUNYPHC(a)gmail.com<mailto:CUNYPHC@gmail.com>

Gslisadjuncts Resources for Diversity--K-12
by Claudia Perry 23 Jun '16

23 Jun '16

Dear Colleagues, Last night’s PBS Newshour had a segment featuring “Perspectives for a Diverse America”, an initiative of the Southern Poverty Law Center. Perspectives is “a literacy-based curriculum that marries anti-bias social justice content with the rigor of the Common Core Standards”. See http://perspectives.tolerance.org and http://www.tolerance.org/about The “Central Text Anthology” looks like a terrific list of resources organized by grade level and theme. Highly recommended for School Media Specialists and Children and Young Adult Services librarians. Enjoy! cp Claudia A. Perry, MLS, Ph.D Associate Professor Director of Admissions Graduate School of Library and Information Studies Queens College, CUNY Flushing, NY 11367 claudia.perry(a)qc.cuny.edu 718-997-3790
