Bay Area.
The History-Social Science Project at the University of California, Berkeley (UCBHSSP), in partnership with the University of California, Berkeley History Department, the National Park Service, The Fred T. Korematsu Institute and the Oakland Museum of California, seeks to fund two, one week-long Landmarks of American History and Culture Workshops for Teachers to be held June 24-28 and July 8-12, 2019. The workshop focuses on three themes: the movement of diverse groups of people to California, altering the cultural landscape of the state and nation; how mobilization for war was made possible through New Deal Era infrastructure and the marshalling of the nation’s industrial capacity; and the role of UC Berkeley and the American West as a center for militarization. |
