SUMMARY:This Is Our War: 100(+) Years of Women's Civil Rights Activism in Louisiana
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Shannon Frystak in-person at the March Gallier Gathering as she discusses the history of women’s Civil Rights activism in Louisiana.\nThis event is co-hosted by the Loyola University New Orleans Department of History and will take place on the Loyola campus in Multimedia Room 2\, Monroe Library. Parking is located in the West Road Garage. \nAbout this Event\nFor more than 100 years\, Louisiana women have challenged the racial status quo in Louisiana. Beginning in the early 20th century (and arguably even before then)\, women across the state were at the forefront of the fight for the rights that they believed were denied them\, first in slavery\, and then through the more than half-century period of Jim Crow. Dr. Shannon Frystak will highlight some of the major events of the “long civil rights era” and the women who were crucial actors in the long struggle to alter the social\, economic\, and political landscape of the state to ensure citizenship applied equally to all of its residents. \nDr. Shannon Frystak is an award-winning writer and historian who specializes in Women’s History and the Modern Civil Rights Movement with an emphasis on female activism in Louisiana. She teaches at East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania. Her works include Our Minds on Freedom: Women and the Struggle for Black Equality in Louisiana\, 1924-1967 and Louisiana Women: Their Lives and Times. Her current research is a biography of Lucille Watson\, owner and manager of Cross Keys Plantation in Tensas Parish\, Louisiana.

SUMMARY:Supporting Civics and Inquiry with the Investigating History Curriculum
DESCRIPTION:How do we provide all students with a history education that is culturally responsive\, civically engaged\, and inquiry-based? For the past two years\, the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education has been developing and piloting a comprehensive middle school curriculum\, called Investigating History\, intended to achieve this goal; it will be released as a free resource beginning in Summer 2023. In this session\, we will preview how the Investigating History materials have been designed to build students’ civic knowledge\, skills\, and dispositions while engaging them with multiple voices and perspectives from the past and present. We will share initial trends about where teachers have seen successes and challenges with the curriculum and what we’ve learned about how to help teachers make these types of pedagogical shifts. We will also be joined by teachers who have used Investigating History in their classrooms to speak firsthand about their and their students’ experiences with the curriculum.

SUMMARY:Circles of Action: Experiential Interfaith & Social Justice Learning
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, facilitators from Mosaic: Interfaith Youth Action will demonstrate how experiential education is a key intervention for interfaith understanding and social justice\, inviting participants to learn through sharing & activities. Attendees will have the opportunity to first be participants\, playing games and engaging in the learning process first-hand\, before facilitators elaborate on the pedagogy that structures this method\, which draws significantly on David Kolb’s Experiential Learning Model (experience plus reflection equals transference and new knowledge). This method—developed at Mosaic—focuses on centering and amplifying youth voices to harness the insights of experience through expert facilitation and guidance. This pedagogy affords both a safe and brave space for youth to engage in meaningful dialogue about their faith-based traditions\, their multidimensional identities\, and how these experiences and identities call them towards social action.
