Teaching LGBTQIA History

Catalog description

What could a high school U.S. history class look, sound, and feel like when taught through the experiences of LGBTQIA people and communities? Students will answer this question by engaging with the theories and practices of teaching LGBTQIA history in secondary social studies and humanities classrooms. Students will be trained in curriculum design, culturally relevant pedagogies, and LGBTQIA history. Students will then create their own unit plans on a topic in LGBTQIA history that could be taught to local Providence high school students. Those interested in the humanities, teaching, and American LGBTQIA history should take this class.
