Look for TPS-MTSU at Upcoming Spring Conferences
Teaching with Primary Sources–MTSU will be presenting at multiple conferences in February and March. Later this month, we will be presenting three sessions, including the first presentation about the “World War II Homefront in Tennessee” curriculum, at the Tennessee Council for Social Studies conference in Memphis. In addition, Dr. Colbi Layne Hogan will be presenting her work on the WWII project, and how museums and historic sites in the state can get involved with it, at the Tennessee Association of Museums conference in March. Kira Duke will be closing out the spring conferences with two presentations at the National Council for History Education virtual conference. One session, “The Cost of Progress: Examining Labor in Appalachia in the Aftermath of the Second Industrial Revolution,” will be co-presented with graduate research assistant Layla Smallwood and the other will explore the work of the TPS Civil Rights Fellowship with our partners at Mars Hill University and the University of South Carolina.
