Activism, Archives, and Education: Workshop
Wednesday, 10 March
4:15-6:15pm
Activists and historians both attempt to revise popular narratives about our collective past in order to inform and expand our collective imaginations in the present. Historians rely on archives, but they can also be useful to activists. Using the archives to explore the history of activism presents one way to engage students in formal educational settings, and to make useful historical knowledge accessible to activists and a broader public. In this workshop, Brian Jones will discuss several ongoing projects in which he is involved in connecting archives, educators, and activists.
