A three-week school teacher institute for twenty-five participants to explore major social movements in American history.

This grant proposal is to fund a three-week institute for secondary school teachers, July 11 - 31, 2010, at Indiana University in Bloomington. The institute will examine three influential social movements in modern America, exploring their roots, their trajectories, their counter-movements, and their effects on the continuing debate on the American polity, American identity, and American culture.
