Memorializing Space: A Cross-Disciplinary Approach to Open Pedagogy in the Humanities


Event Details

This event finished on 23 April 2021


This event consists of two 60-minute workshops that will demonstrate methods of interdisciplinary, open pedagogy in the humanities using technology for the memorialization and remembrance of space. In the first workshop, Professors Laurie Lomask and Jill Strauss (Borough of Manhattan Community College) will show two examples of pedagogical approaches to integrating technology and historical memory. Participants will be asked to plan for their own assignments in upcoming courses. In the second workshop, participants will share their lesson plans, and we will invite former students who have completed these kinds of assignments to give feedback on the potential pitfalls and interest value of the projects.
