Revolution to Republic: Philadelphia's Place in Early America
Two one-week workshops for fifty community college faculty members linking important themes in early American history to key sites in Philadelphia.
The Society for Historians of the Early Republic (SHEAR), a U.S. 501(c) 3 nonprofit headquartered in Philadelphia, requests funds to support two one-week workshops entitled "Revolution to Republic: Philadelphia's Place in Early America," that will explore the pivotal transition from British colonial urban center to republican city. Twenty-five Community College faculty per week will explore Philadelphia's rich history, learn how to incorporate historic landmarks into classroom learning, and initiate or advance personal research interests.
