Dear John,
How do history and civics classes and other fields in the humanities connect with one another? This is the central question Liz Evans and I will address in our YourTube live "Teacher Time" webinar tomorrow, February 23 at 4 pm ET.
You can register for reminders to join us live, or you can watch the recording afterward on our YouTube channel if you're unable to join the Livestream.
The humanities—including the study of languages, literature, history, jurisprudence, philosophy, comparative religion, ethics, and the arts—are disciplines of memory and imagination, telling us where we have been and helping us envision where we are going. Using examples of film, music, and other media, we will explore some of the ways in which social studies teachers can collaborate with other humanities teachers.
As we do every other Tuesday afternoon, we will also take a look at recent events in the news from a pedagogical and principles-based perspective.
What questions do you have on this topic? Please reach out on social media using the hashtag #BRITeacherTime.
We hope to see you tomorrow!
Warm Regards,
Gary Colletti
Director, Teacher and Student Programs
