Eric Carpio (Project Director: February 2019 to October 2022)

Two one-week workshops for 72 K-12 school teachers on Colorado’s southern borderlands in the nineteenth century.

Borderlands of Southern Colorado is a place-based workshop in Colorado's San Luis Valley illuminating the complex history of the American southwest through the intersection of geo-political, geographic, cultural, ethnic, and religious landscapes. Through two, one-week workshops in summer 2020, educators will learn from a diverse and highly qualified team of scholars, mentors, and community members to examine how shifting historic borders and borderlands in the region have impacted individual and community identity, power and government, ecosystems and the economy, land and water, and religion and spirituality; and how these borderlands issues continue to resonate today. Borderlands of Southern Colorado is proposed to NEH as an opportunity to critically examine our nation's complex history, engage in critical dialogue, and share diverse viewpoints across the K-12 humanities curricula.
